The Marvelous Lord Byron
Lord Byron was not just an average poet as many people of his time thought he was. Byron was a celebrity, for his stardom was rising all the time. He was very sexually active, and attracted many young girls and ladies because of his good looks. At a young age he inherited his father’s property. When his father, the Wicked Lord, died, Byron became, at the tender age of ten, the sixth Lord Byron.

The Byron estate was mostly tied up in lawsuits, but Mrs. Byron finally got her son a decent income. Eventually, he enrolled in Cambridge, but did no work, since that was the fashion of the time. He wrote lots of verses, and spent lots of money. This was basically the start of his wild, "free" lifestyle. Byron would write about society most of the time, especially about his feelings on sexuality, women, and society in general. But he also wrote about nature, and in this area he was one of the best in the long list of poets of the Romantic era. Byron not only spent much of his time writing how he felt, he let his rather well-known actions speak his emotions. One such example is when he volunte
wanted and actually believed, rather than being suckered into Christianity or something. He always admitted his guilt and mistakes in his poetry, for him poetry is a time of letting out his emotions into powerful, creative words. We can almost always relate to him, for we make mistakes too. It is this ability to relate to him, and his wild, extraordinary life that makes him the most enjoyable of all the Romantic poets. This poem brings out no hope. Byron must have wrote this because of his unhappy marriage. And like the title and final stanza says, he lost his passion for the one he loved:
