Thomas Babington Macaulay on Lord Byron
← Back to Thomas Babington Macaulay Profile
“I never heard a single expression of fondness for him fall from the lips of any of those who knew him well.”
“From the poetry of Lord Byron they drew a system of ethics, compounded of misanthropy and voluptuousness, a system in which the two great commandments were, to hate your neighbour, and to love your neighbour's wife.”
