#OnThisDay in 1788, George Gordon Byron was born. Ten years later, following the death of his uncle, he gained title and lordship. Lord Byron went on to become one of the most popular and influential English Romantic poets of the 1800s with poems like Childe Harold's Pilgrimage and Don Juan. #HistoryGetsLIT

Prompt: British
Here is a classic British poem for today.
“Parting day
Dies like the dolphin, whom each pang imbues
With a new colour as it gasps away,
The last still loveliest, till 'tis gone and all is gray.”

How flipping cool is this?! I was straightening up and read the label on the chocolate bar @VelvetSpade sent and it said, "Love poem inside."
There's treasure everywhere! ?
He might have been a libertine in his times. Maybe his poetry & prose work sprung from that as his words were erotic for those days. His reputation was mired in scandel. Yet his work was to later become influential & inspiring to Romantic Poets. He was more than a wordsmith. He was an intellect, an outspoken politician. He voiced words for the public good. He spoke of social reform & in favor of worker's rights. He is Lord Byron. #LitsyPoetry365
Day 56 #AfterMaria - checking illustrated poetry projects from my #BritLit class. Still no power at home. 🤷🏻♀️
I chose Byron for #rhymes because he is behind some great monsters. His challenge is what helped create Frankenstein and also behind a really abysmal story called "The Vampyr" written by his doctor, Polidori. It's earlier than Dracula and Byron was the inspiration for the vampire in the story. #uncannyOctober @RealLifeReading
