Lord Byron: Selected Poetry

I can never get people to understand that poetry is the expression of excited passion, and that there is no such thing as a life of passion any more than a continuous earthquake, or an eternal fever. Besides, who would ever shave themselves in such a state?
There’s a man with a hole that goes straight through his soul and it’s open for all to see. Just ask and he’ll tell every joy, every hell, and how it all came to be. He will tell you unbidden; no secret is hidden; and he’ll speak with a gleam in his eyes https://driventoverse.wordpress.com/2012/09/16/the-open-man/
