No, but I just took a mean shit and I'm sure that a few ladies would rate my sexual ability at around decent
It is well known that he was really fat and had a moronic foot, literally the worst of the big 5 in English romanticism
Oops, big 6*
When will you incels learn that looks matter little?
It's only a big 1, really. Keats makes everyone else look like children mumbling words they don't understand even though he died the youngest by far.
Clearly under read, hit the books more. If you haven't unraveled the complexities of Shelley's sunetoi as it relates to his arguments for poetry as a legislation, then you're very far behind.
As for Keats being far and away the best, this is only true if you've only read what the internet tells you to, but in truth, there's so much good to great poetry from the era. None of Coleridge, Wordsworth, Shelley, Clare are worth it to you? No William Blake? Are you kidding? The only reason you'd hold an opinion like that is because you lack understanding of the others.
I simply said Shelley was the worst of them all. No idea where this is coming from. Byron is better than Shelley.
Yes, and it's an under read opinion. That's why I told you to read more. You're legally blind. The objects of authors might be made out in a vague fuzz, but no one believes you when you say you can see.
I’ve read them all. Byron’s work is better. I don’t care what you say.
Fine, anon. Then break down for me Adonais. Explain the references to not only Keats, but Chatterton. Explain how the structure of the pastoral elegy engages in a millennia-long conversation about the aesthetics of poetry. This is not advanced stuff. Give me just a measly two sense discrediting Shelley.
Then, if you'd be so kind, tell me about Don Juan. Hard mode: don't fall back on pointing out the Byronic hero lineage.
nta you sound like you’re running through a checklist to prove you understood a poem. let me guess, Shelley clicked for you during college
I just want some semblance that you understand things at even a freshman level. Your deflection from this point indicates that you don't, and this is good. Now everyone who sees the thread knows they can disregard your opinion
nta means “not that anon,” ie im not the guy you were arguing with, you pompous frick
Shelly was the worst.
>[Byron] was renowned for his personal beauty, which he enhanced by wearing curl-papers in his hair at night. He was athletic, being a competent boxer and horse-rider and an excellent swimmer.
You just hate him because he was a Chad and you’re an incel loser. That’s why you take refuge in the reddit atheist Percy b***h Shelley instead.
Not that anon and I usually don't harp on this, but man... the buzz words. You need to make it a point to get outside and talk to some people, but probably after a week or so of just lonesome reintegration. Sit on a bench in a park or something
I’m not going to sit on a bench when some low T moron is talking shit of /ourguy/ Lord Byron while propping up the b***h boy Shelley (whose wife is even more famous and influential than him lol).
Oh, anon. You got btfo'd. Give it a rest
I knew it. It’s you.
He was fat when he was a teenager and became obsessed with his self-image because of that.
he went from fat to thin to fat etc, depending on what he wanted to be at time x
More like he was a chaotic alcoholic who went sober at times when he was on a larp then fell back into drunkardness
Scott was better than all of them
Scott was the greatest poet of the romantic era
Once again, we have an anon saying something without a shred of defense. Just give us one thing he does better with references to the other notable Romantic poets.

Stirring the blood

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
>Scott
But as they left the dark’ning heath,
More desperate grew the strife of death.
The English shafts in volleys hailed,
In headlong charge their horse assailed;
Front, flank, and rear, the squadrons sweep
To break the Scottish circle deep,
That fought around their king.
But yet, though thick the shafts as snow,
Though charging knights like whirlwinds go,
Though billmen ply the ghastly blow,
Unbroken was the ring;
The stubborn spearmen still made good
Their dark impenetrable wood,
Each stepping where his comrade stood,
The instant that he fell.
No thought was there of dastard flight;
Linked in the serried phalanx tight,
Groom fought like noble, squire like knight,
As fearlessly and well;
But overall the romantics are overrated. Gray is better than all the romantics besides keats who is his equal. Chatterton is also better than most
>Lady Caroline and Lord Byron publicly decried each other as they privately pledged their love over the following months. Byron referred to Lamb as "Caro", which she adopted as her public nickname. After Byron ended the affair, her husband took Lady Caroline to Ireland. The distance did not cool Lady Caroline's interest in the poet, and she and Byron corresponded constantly during her exile. When Lady Caroline returned to London in 1813, however, Byron made it clear that he had no intention of restarting their relationship. That spurred increasingly-public attempts to reunite with her former lover. Matters came to a head at a ball in honour of the Duke of Wellington when Byron publicly insulted Lady Caroline, who responded by breaking a wine glass and trying to slash her wrists. She did not seriously injure herself, and it is most unlikely that she had any suicidal intentions, but her reputation was damaged and her mental stability was questioned. Byron himself referred to it as a theatrical performance: "Lady Caroline performed the dagger scene" (a reference to Macbeth).
He must have had a dick like a Pepsi can.
probably just took her virginity
Why was he such a dickhead?
Inferiority complex stemming-from deformed foot. Deformed and moronic people thus become evil and mean-spirited. Many such cases!
>muh dick
Niggur brained homosexual.

>It’s been claimed by some that Byron had an enormous erection. In the 1970s, Houldsworth told a local newspaper that Byron’s penis was as big and as long as “a pony’s.”
Reminder that Shelley was actually the best-looking Romantic, but his reputation was tarnished by some bad portraits.

I know and I accept this
That’s a lesbian.
Looks like an AIDS-riddled twink.
This goes for all anons on the board who get frustrated. Keep in mind that if you press 90% of these fakes to explain their claims, they crumble. They're essentially AI programs, giving out answers that they've seen elsewhere online. They don't read, and if they do, they don't read with any originality. Don't take anything they say to heart.
>it’s another this writer is better than that writer where insults are hurled and nothing productive happens thread
Anyway, I’m planning on getting the Everyman’s Library Byron Travels, Journals and Poems thread coming out in a couple weeks. IMO Byron was poetry personified. His life was poetry
>Bitches about productivity of thread
>Wastes post explaining a thread he will eventually make
>Says nothing-statements about particular poet
Thank God you stepped in.

Good choice.
He was fat a lot of his life, especially by modern looksmax standards
