Coleridge > Wordsworth

Keats > Shelley

I do like William Blake, but not the best

Byron IS the worst.

Right? Like that's the most accurate description of the major romantics. Nobody likes Blake best (but everybody likes him okay), everyone agrees Byron is worst, and then you gotta pick two of the other four. (I'm Coleridge Shelley.) I saw a tweet one time that Byron was so horrible Mary Shelley sat in her room writing Frankenstein just to avoid him.
