Excerpt from The Works of Lord Byron, Vol. 2 of 17: With His Letters and Journals, and His Life But however incompatible such a life must have been with those habits of contemplation, by which, and which only, the faculties he had already dis played could be ripened, or those that were still latent could be unfolded, yet, in another point of view, the time now apparently squandered by him, was, in after-days, turned most invaluably to account.
