Byron's free-spirited lifestyle combined with his rare poetic gift to make him one of the foremost figures of the Romantic Era. This collection of his poems, richly varied in mood and content, captures the essence of his great achievement. Among the thirty-one poems included are convivial song-like poems, love poems, travel poems, humorous and satiric poems. Shorter works such as the famous "She Walks in Beauty," "Stanzas to Augusta" and "So We'll Go No More a Roving" are well represented. Also here are important longer works — "The Prisoner of Chillon," "Beppo," "The Vision of Judgment," all unabridged — and lyrics excerpted from Don Juan, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, and the play Manfred. Taken together, these are poems that draw readers quickly into the passions, humors, and convictions of a poet whose life and work truly embodied the Romantic spirit.

En gare de Moscou, deux jeunes gens s'aiment au premier regard. Femme d'un haut fonctionnaire, ornement de la société tsariste de son temps, Anna Karénine éblouit le frivole comte Wronsky, par sa grâce, son élégance et sa gaieté. A ce bonheur, à cette passion réciproque porteuse de scandale et de destruction, ils ne résistent pas longtemps. En écho à cette tragédie programmée, on entend toute l'âme d'un peuple et les premiers craquements de l'Empire russe en train de se lézarder. L'inoubliable Anna Karénine, c'est l'apogée du génie littéraire de l'auteur de Guerre et Paix.

«Un serin vole du miroir, et se perche sur son épaule. "Un nouvel ami", dit-elle, et elle l'attira sur sa main. "Il est destiné à mes petits. Il est si joli ! regardez-le. Quand je lui donne du pain, il bat des ailes, et becquete si gentiment ! Il me baise aussi : voyez." Lorsqu'elle présenta sa bouche au petit animal, il becqueta dans ses douces lèvres... "Il faut aussi qu'il vous baise", dit-elle, et elle me tendit l'oiseau. Son petit bec passa des lèvres de Charlotte aux miennes, et ses picotements furent comme un souffle précurseur, un avant-goût de jouissance amoureuse... "Il mange aussi dans ma bouche", dit-elle. Je détournai le visage.»
