If you are still alive Alone and burdened with debts Then come my friend Away from your Great Britain Away from love affairs and women (For them you had been spending too much time) Come over to the East (Easter than Greece) I am willing to be your sacred Augusta (Pure, chaste and undefiled. According to the custom of the East) Willing to be your soul sanctuary (How I was longing for this great role indeed) Here for you everything is good The people is the simplest and kindest And the soil moderate From your cradle of the genius despite of being away Eventually you will return to the real town of eternity |

I find this a very interesting piece... the phrasing appealing and the idea intriguing... I am enjoying reading you. |

It is true that Lord Byron died a disappointed and exhausted exile. But what a treasure he left behind with `The Vision of Judgment`. In the work he mocks Poet Laureate Robert Southey, who had composed a lavish eulogy for King George III, who was insane. `The Vision of Judgment` is not merely a parody but one of the greatest poems ever written. |
