SWIB - Byron

• What's the context?

  • Wrote about lust he feels for a woman he sees mourning at a funeral
  • Romantic poet detests authority and religion
  • Likes rebelling /controversial
• Of cloudless climes and starry skies
• Which Heaven to gaudy day denies
• Which waves in every raven tress
• serenely sweet express
• so soft, so calm, yet eloquent
• tints that glow
