"I am so hurried, & so sleepy, but so anxious to send you even a few lines my dearest Augusta, that you will forgive me troubling you so often; and I shall write again soon; but I have sent you so much lately, that you will have too many perhaps. A thousand loves to you from me—which is very generous for I only ask one in return."

Byron, to his half-sister Augusta Leigh (via hotelsongs)

Hmmm, inspired by this darling tumble-blog, I went in search of my very own history crush. 
And came up with…dun, dun, dun….George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron, later George Gordon Noel, 6th Baron Byron orsimply just Lord Byron. 
Poet, war hero, one of the leader’s of the romantic movement, pre-curser to the modern rockstar and really attractive. 
Now my friends (on tumblr and in real life) are SICK of hearing about him but I just can’t help it. I have “Byromania” (as coined by his wife, Annabella). Oh, well, what’s a girl to do?
