Byran to speak for himself? Do you mean Byron? We'd all like a few more words from the master dear sir, but unfortunately he was killed fighting for the Greek revolution in 1824. Tragic business. Fortunately he left us some wonderous verse though;
But words are things, and a small drop of ink,
Falling like dew, upon a thought, produces
That which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think;
'Tis strange, the shortest letter which man uses
Instead of speech, may form a lasting link
Of ages; to what straits old Time reduces
Frail man, when paper - even a rag like this - ,
Survives himself, his tomb, and alll that's his.
(from Don Juan)
