ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BYRONIC FIGURE IN THE ROMANTIC LITERATURE

...you know like telling Keats

“ Sorry bro, no f*ck, you outta luck “.

(Leroi)

That Keats died a maiden

makes romantic hearts flutter,

but imagine if Byron

would have died a virgin,

what would have that done?

Would we still have Pushkin,

Lermontov and the rest?

I bet not.
