And is there not religion, and reform,
Peace, war, the taxes, and what's call'd the "Nation"?
The struggle to be pilots in a storm?
The landed and the monied speculation?
The joys of mutual hate to keep them warm,
Instead of love, that mere hallucination?
Now hatred is by far the longest pleasure;
Men love in haste, but they detest at leisure.
by Lord Byron from Don Juan, Canto the Thirteenth

Lord George Byron (1788-1824)
enjoyed Armenian Language and created
English-Armenian dictionary.
I don't think many know about this ...
He said the Armenian Language is God's spoken language.

Lord Byron’s famous phrase about the Armenian Language,
“God Spoke the Armenian Language”
“I found the Armenian Language–which is the twin, the literal and the
vulgar difficult, yet not invincible; It is a rich language, and
would repay anyone the trouble of learning it.
