Excerpt from Lecture on the Writings and Genius of Byron: Before the Carlisle Mechanics Institution, on the 21st January, 1856
Part of its immortality; the veil tsar'a is half withdrawn; within the pale We stand, and in that form and face behold What mind can make. When N ature's self would fail; And to the fond idolaters of old Envy the innate dash that such a soul could mould.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive examination of the literary genius and writings of Lord Byron. The author delves into the essence of poetry as perceived by eminent writers, including Dr. Johnson, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Percy Bysshe Shelley. The author argues that a poet is one who not only describes the beautiful and sublime, but also creates other scenes of beauty and grandeur. The author illustrates this theory by quoting extensively from the works of Milton, Rogers, and Thomson. Turning to Byron, the author examines his descriptive powers, his originality of thought, and his electrifying use of language. The author concludes that Byron possessed all the combined characteristics of a great poet and that his descriptions of natural scenery are unsurpassed in the annals of English literature. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the works of Lord Byron, the Romantic Movement, or the nature of poetry itself.
