"The best letters I've ever read. Modern editing has apparently improved Byron's works and letters quite a bit, but Barzun's edition inspires me to buy a recent selection of letters. I suspect I may become obsessed with these letters, entirely appropriate for the Romantic, even though the prevailing mood of his letters is modernity, not romanticism." — Apr 04, 2018 03:15AM

“I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it calls itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning.”
