Born George Byron on 22 January 1778 in Aberdeen, Scotland. Byron isolated himself after his father left him and his mother blamed him for being born with a deformed foot. Byron would continue to publish his first volumes of poetry during his college years. Byron continued to write poetry and published many of his poems. One of those poems is “She Walks in Beauty.” This poem compares the beauty of a woman to the night. It says, “walk in beauty, like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies.” This poem compares the woman to many different elements of the night and also talks about the beauty of women inside and out. Another poem by Lord Byron is "Darkness". The poem begins by saying, “I had a dream, which was not all a dream.” This makes the reader unsure of what is real or fake. In this poem, the inhabitants of the Earth are forced to burn everything to create light and heat in the constant darkness. This allows people to see each other's faces, but has a negative effect on the world's animals. Animals die and humans transform from hunters to scavengers and eventually starve. Byron uses nature and the problems of the world in his poetry. His romantic poems fit this era perfectly helping him become one of its most famous poets
