Benander/Byron lecture quotes

Byronic things Professor Benander is known to have said during the Byron discussion in the conservatory this evening:

If Gothic was espresso, Romanticism was cappucino.

Decaying zuchinni, how Romantic!

Live fast and leave a beautiful corpse.

  1. Great! I can hear each of these remarks (and picture them too)! The conservatory is a great place for a discussion of Byron. Actually almost any place at the manor is! Oh, but you haven't been to Newstead Abbey yet. Won't spoil it for you!

  2. When we two parted
    In silence and tears
    Half broken-hearted
    To sever for years....

    I was all about B-man in high school...great food for teenage angst.
