Detailed Explanation & Answer
Lord Byron made this famous remark after the overnight success of the publication of the first two cantos of his poem "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage" in 1812. This work brought him immediate fame and established him as one of the leading figures of the Romantic movement in England.
The poem is a semi-autobiographical account of a young nobleman's travels through Europe, expressing melancholy and disillusionment. It captures the spirit of the Romantic era with its emphasis on individualism, nature, and emotional depth.
The publication was an immediate success, capturing the public's imagination and earning Byron instant fame.
