Golden Moments and Impossible Love

Byron from ages 31 to 36

How to think about someone who reached fame that is unparalleled among poets, but who also died young and disappointed in love?

In Venice Byron began a longterm love affair with Teresa Guiccioli. Teresa's father and brother made him feel as if he'd found a second family. He also wrote his best poems, Beppo and Don Juan.

He sailed to Greece, where he made large sums of his own money available to revolutionaries. He loved a Greek teenager Loukas Chalandritsanos who didn't love him back.

Byron died after a fit that may have been epilepsy or syphilis or malaria. His doctors bled him and weakened him, which probably hastened his early death.

Have you ever felt how the strands of upset, achievement, and human affection woven together in a famous life make you appreciate the same themes in your own life?
