“O Love! O Glory! what are ye who fly Around us ever, rarely to alight?” Lord Byron's satirical take on the legend of Don Juan is a moving and witty poem that sees the young hero in a reversal of roles. Juan sheds his image as a womaniser and instead becomes the victim of circumstance as he is relentlessly pursued by every woman he meets. Comprised of seventeen cantos of rhyming iambic pentameter, the poem is a crisp and accessible meditation on the madness of the world.
