Byronathon, Marathon reading of Lord Byron's works & letters plus contemporary works by other poets: Saturday 26 October '19 at Newstead Abbey #Newstead
Newstead Abbey in #Nottinghamshire was the ancestral home of Lord Byron, and it formed the inspiration for much of his poetry. Using pages from The Archive, in this special blog we tell the story of this historic building https://t.co/06z8iIbK9J #Byron
I stood in Venice, on the Bridge of Sighs,
A palace and a prison on each hand:
I saw from out the wave her structures rise
As from the stroke of the enchanter’s wand:
A thousand years their cloudy wings expand
Around me, and a dying Glory smiles

Brothers Fayard and Harold Nicholas dancing in the 1943 film “Stormy Weather.” Years later, Harold recalled that they never rehearsed the jumps over each other’s heads but still managed to do the routine in just one take.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods;
There is a rapture on the lonely shore;
There is society, where none intrudes,
By the deep sea, and music in its roar:
I love not man the less, but Nature more...

So exciting to hear about the new Byron museum, opening in Ravenna, Italy in 2020! 🇮🇹 This is the building. Can’t wait for my trip to the city with @Euromanticism in October #BARS2019
