Lord Byron on the death of Napoleon

Elba and Waterloo called forth poems from Byron; the death at St. Helena could not. The news reached Byron at Ravenna, and seemed to him another token of the ebb of his energies. He wrote to his friend, the poet Thomas Moore, suggesting Napoleon as a theme that he himself could no longer approach: “I have no spirits nor estro to do so. His overthrow, from the beginning, was a blow on the head to me. Since that period, we have been the slaves of fools.”

“I find fault, and quarrel with Napoleon, as a lover does with the trifling faults of his mistress, from excessive liking, which tempts me to desire that he had been all faultless; and, like the lover, I return with renewed fondness after each quarrel.”

— Lord Byron

When we two parted In silence and tears, Half broken-hearted, To sever for years, Pale grew thy cheek and cold, Colder thy kiss; Truly that hour foretold Sorrow to this.

When we two parted, Lord Byron
