Books with author George Gordon Byron

Excerpt from Childe Harold's PilgrimageBut spent his days in riot most uncouth, And rex'd with mirth the drowsy ear of Night. Ah, me! In sooth he was a shameless wight, Sore given to revel and ungodly glee; Few earthly things found favor in his sight Save concubines and carnal companie.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Oh, thou, in Hellas deemed of heavenly birth, Muse, formed or fabled at the minstrel's will! Since shamed full oft by later lyres on earth, Mine dares not call thee from thy sacred hill: Yet there I've wandered by thy vaunted rill; Yes! sighed o'er Delphi's long-deserted shrine Where, save that feeble fountain, all is still; Nor mote my shell awake the weary Nine To grace so plain a tale—this lowly lay of mine.

Excerpt from Childe Harold's Pilgrimage: Canto IBeholds the rainbow4 of her future years, Before whose heavenly hues all sorrow disappears.Young Peri5 of the West -'tis well for me My years already doubly number thine My loveless eye unmoved may gaze on thee, And safely view thy ripening beauties shine Happy, I ne'er shall see them in decline; Happier, that while all younger hearts shall bleed, Mine shall escape the doom thine eyes assign To those whose admiration shall succeed, But mixed with pangs to Love's even loveliest hours decreed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Childe Harold's Pilgrimage was the poem which brought Lord Byron public recognition. He himself disliked the poem, because he felt it revealed too much of himself. In it a young man (called childe after the medieval term for a candidate for knighthood) travels to distant lands to relieve the boredom and weariness brought on by a life of dissipation. It is thought to be a comment on the post-Revolutionary and -Napoleonic generation, who were weary of war.

“All who joy would win Must share it -- Happiness was born a twin.” --- George Gordon Byron, Don Juan Don Juan is a satiric poem by Lord Byron, based on the legend of Don Juan, which Byron reverses, portraying Juan not as a womaniser but as someone easily seduced by women. It is a variation on the epic form. Byron himself called it an "Epic Satire" (Don Juan, c. xiv, st. 99). Byron completed 16 cantos, leaving an unfinished 17th canto before his death in 1824. Byron claimed he had no ideas in his mind as to what would happen in subsequent cantos as he wrote his work. When the first two cantos were published anonymously in 1819, the poem was criticised for its 'immoral content', though it was also immensely popular.

What is the secret of the rare and magical tickle stones?Dreamers Delights dream shop is closed tonight because it is the scene of a crime. Bormore has never known anything like it, in all the time he has been living at the bottom of Alfie's garden this is the first time he has called the emergency services. The authorities have spent a long time trying to catch Knightly Nightmare, the Master Criminal of the night realm, and tonight Tall and Titch of the Sleep Patrol will try again. Alfie had no idea that his garden was so busy during the hours of darkness until he found himself dragged into the night realm by a dream creature released from a dream disc. The surprises don't stop there as he becomes the only witness to the greatest robbery in night realm history, before being kidnapped by Knightly Nightmare and taken away with Bormore by the frightening Zebron. They find themselves at Stoners Stop surrounded by an army of Wispers. Bormore sees that Alfie is quite baffled by most of what is happening around him, so he decides to befriend him as they both want to return to their homes which are in the same place. As soon as Bormore sees a chance to escape he makes a dash for freedom and Alfie follows him all the way to the Star Stream.Meanwhile, Tall and Titch have been sent miles away from the scene of the crime and are busy collecting stolen dream discs or capturing dream creatures on the orders of their boss Sir Sleep Alot. He is not impressed with the time it is taking to catch Knightly Nightmare and his interruptions with Tall and Titch eventually lead them to seek help from their friend Snoozer. At the same time Bormore and Alfie are struggling down the Star Stream when suddenly Bormore vanishes and Alfie has to carry on alone for a while. Eventually a strange twist of fate reunites them and they run to escape into Dream Space. The Dangerous Dream Division have other ideas and arrest Alfie believing him to be Knightly Nightmare, and in the midst of this activity a rather guilty Bormore sneaks away to safety. Alfie's truth is not popular when he is questioned by Sir Sleep Alot so he who sends him back to Stoners Stop to reveal where he has hidden the mythical tickle stones. Luckily, the Sleep Patrol are sent there too and they speak to the officer in charge, Captain Snore Aloud, who is beginning to have some questions of his own though he dare not speak them to anyone. Between Wispers, searchers and suspicions Bormore is reunited with Alfie, and they are both reunited with Tall and Titch, before a desperate turn of events sends them all running for their freedom with the Dangerous Dream Division in close pursuit. They don't get far as they battle tiredness, Alfie's bafflement and moon madness. With a devastating attack from Knightly Nightmare as they make their escape, they soon find themselves arrested by the Dangerous Dream Division, and so begins the trial of all history in the night realm, ordered by the dreaded Judge James the very next night.It is times like this that everyone needs a friend, and as the trial begins a very forthright though rather reluctant Captain Snore Aloud is meeting with Snoozer. His suspicions have grown and he wants to understand the truth. Together they create a plan, but can they achieve it before the inevitable sentences are passed in the court? Will Bormore reveal his stunning secret? Will anyone believe him if he does? And most importantly of all, will Alfie get to go home?Only Sir Sleep Alot knows the answer to that last question as he has planned a siege that will mean nobody goes anywhere, until Alfie finds a way to fight back in the very centre of the court room.
