| "Who's the 18th century poet whose a love to all the chicks?" Byron! "Ya Darn Right!" |
I just completed the fifth canto. Byron probably has the best way with descriptions, as when he is talking about a beautiful lady, he decides to basically say, "This lady was so hot that if I could perfectly write about her, you would all go blind! So thank goodness I am not very talented".
He also introduces a great side character, who when Juan complains about how they are slaves, (long story) he replies, "Aren't we, like, all slaves man? Just to, like, different masters?"
Sadly there were no insults at Wordsworth in this one, but hopefully that muse shall speak to Byron again.
Side note: I found out there is a book about Byron and his pet bear solving crime while at college. I must have this.
