He was exiled from the UK and I cannot remember where the hell he went, but his life was really tea and Lord Byron was, I find very intriguing because to have such indulgence in earthly pleasures, you know, to really eat all the fruits of Western society and then have this really pronounced... admiration and deep connectivity to nature is such a strange dichotomy.
And there's a crossover somewhere, not to get too deep into it, between like the romance era of painting and I guess of literature as well. And by romance, I mean romantic in the sense of nature. Like there's something of a romantic quality to nature and the sublime and sublimity and how that interacted and inspired a lot of artists in the romance period. Lord Byron.
