They made a few io esoteric disciples, and many scoffers. Lord Byron founded what may be called an exoteric Lake school; and all the readers of verse in England, we might say in Europe, hastened to sit at his feet. What Mr. Words- worth had said like a recluse, Lord Byron said like a 15 man of the world, with less profound feeling, but with more perspicuity, energy, and conciseness. We would refer our readers to the last two cantos of Childe Harold and to Manfred, in proof of these observations.... Lord Byron, like Mr. Wordsworth, had nothing dra- 20 matic in his genius. He was indeed the reverse of a great dramatist, the very antithesis to a great dramatist. All his characters, Harold looking on the sky, from which his country and the sun are disappearing together, the Giaour, standing apart in the gloom of the side aisle, 25 and casting a haggard scowl from under his long hood at the crucifix and the censer, Conrad leaning on his sword by the watch tower, Lara smiling on the dancers, Alp gazing steadily on the fatal cloud as it passes before the moon, Manfred wandering among the precipices of 30 Berne, Azzo on the judgment seat, Ugo at the bar, LIFE OF LORD BYRON 195 Lambro frowning on the siesta of his daughter and Juan, Cain presenting his unacceptable offering, are essentially the same.
