When I was a teen I recall this one goth guy who we hung around sometimes. I was reading some random book. I asked him if he liked whatever book it was and he said, "I only read BYRON!" My friend and I laughed about this for years as it was so extremely pretentious and a classic goth teen thing to say.

I bet Byron was what is called a psychic vampire. Someone who.feeds off the health and energy of others appearing to rise in health and spirits as they decline. We've all met one such person at least I think.

In my imagination Byron is kept company by John Wilmot Early of Rochester, the young John Donne, Christopher Marlowe, and when the mood takes him the early 17th century playwright John Ford.

Has to be one of the best deep dives into Byron in history. Delicious, horrifying, detailed......a trainereck you can't stop watching. Been waiting for this, binged watched the first 3 Episodes earlier this week. I've got an hour and a half til I need to be in a work meeting. Traffic is annoying but I'm all in. Oh, I subscribed, of coarse. Much love, and admiration. I thought I had a past!?!? Byron is a tornado ripping through Europe, lol. Deeply moving heroism displayed by the end! Fanatic job guys! You are so fun. Indefinitely yours! Marvelous, thrilling, terrific; I simply could not stop listening!

As a 21c person educated in the British classical education system, I find it so easy to be less shocked by Byron's behaviour, given the reprehensible activities of public figures today,. I remember Byron's description of the sea off Cape Sounion at early sunset as being "deep wine-red". Later I travelled to Greece from NZ to see for myself and it was true indeed. I also found Byron's initials carved into one of the columns of the lovely temple located there. I now realise this desecration of an ancient monument being an example of Byron's monumental narcissism.

rewinded 5 times and at last realised the word Tom Holland was trying to say was “gavur” . Now since his defacto g pronounciation was a j sound instead of a hard g (which would have been the correct one), it stands to reason that he is on the “jif” side of the GIF debate.
