Lord Byron - Spent his life in a mad search for pleasure

Lord Byron, a brilliant poet, spent his life in a mad search for pleasure. Toward the end of his days he wrote, “The thorns which I have reaped are of the tree I planted; they have torn me and I bleed. I should have known what fruit would spring from such a seed.” (Child Harold’s Pilgrimage, Canto W. Stanza 10).
