An impression of George Gordon, 6th Lord Byron devised by Jane McCulloch with James Bolam as Lord Byron
Lord Byron had a head which statuaries loved to copy and a deformity of Sot, which beggars in the street mimicked. Yet from Lord Byron was drawn a system of ethics, compounded of misanthropy and voluptuousness a system in which trie two great commandments were: to hate your neighbour, and to love your neighbour's wife. Perhaps no person can be a poet, or can enjoy poetry without a certain unsoundness of mind. (LORD MACAULAY)
