Context paragraphs:
Lord Byron: George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron, FRS (22 January 1788 – 19 April 1824), commonly known simply as Lord Byron, was an English poet, peer, politician, and a leading figure in the Romantic movement.  He is regarded as one of the greatest British poets and remains widely read and influential.  Among his best-known works are the lengthy narrative poems, "Don Juan" and "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage", and the short lyric poem, "She Walks in Beauty".

The Wanderings of Oisin: The Wanderings of Oisin ( ) is an epic poem published by William Butler Yeats in 1889 in the book "The Wanderings of Oisin and Other Poems".  It was his first publication outside magazines, and immediately won him a reputation as a significant poet.  This narrative poem takes the form of a dialogue between the aged Irish hero Oisín and St. Patrick, the man traditionally responsible for converting Ireland to Christianity.  Most of the poem is spoken by Oisin, relating his three-hundred year sojourn in the isles of Faerie.  Oisin has not been a popular poem with critics influenced by modernism, who dislike its pre-Raphaelite character.  However, Harold Bloom defended this poem in his book-length study of Yeats, and concludes that it deserves reconsideration.

Beppo (poem): Beppo: A Venetian Story is a lengthy poem by Lord Byron, written in Venice in 1817.  "Beppo" marks Byron's first attempt at writing using the Italian "ottava rima" metre, which emphasized satiric digression.  It is the precursor to Byron's most famous and generally considered best poem, "Don Juan".

Childe Harold's Pilgrimage: Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is a lengthy narrative poem in four parts written by Lord Byron.  It was published between 1812 and 1818 and is dedicated to "Ianthe".  The poem describes the travels and reflections of a world-weary young man who, disillusioned with a life of pleasure and revelry, looks for distraction in foreign lands.  In a wider sense, it is an expression of the melancholy and disillusionment felt by a generation weary of the wars of the post-Revolutionary and Napoleonic eras.  The title comes from the term "childe", a medieval title for a young man who was a candidate for knighthood.

Bandanna (opera): Bandanna is an English language opera in a prologue and two acts by Daron Hagen, first performed by the University of Texas at Austin opera theater in Austin, February 25, 1999.  The libretto is by Irish poet Paul Muldoon based on a treatment co-written with the composer.  The story of the Venetian Moor is recast and updated to 1968 by combining elements of the original Venetian story, William Shakespeare's "Othello", Giuseppe Verdi's opera "Otello", and new, original characters and situations.  The opera's unifying concept is the idea of the borderlines between emotional, metaphysical and moral states.  The commission itself is notable for two reasons: first, it stipulated that there be no strings (other than the customary string basses associated with symphonic band) in the pit, second, it was financed by a consortium of over one hundred college bands from across the United States, all members of the College Band Directors National Association.

Faliero coup: The Faliero Coup was a failed 1355 coup designed to overthrow Venice's established republican government.  Strains between the Venetian commoners and the nobility, originally stemming from the catastrophic failure of the nobility in the Battle of Porto-Longo against Venice's long-time rival, Genoa, are largely considered to be the main cause for the coup.  However, traditional stories also point to the marriage of Doge Marino Faliero as a possible cause for the coup.  Faliero, an 81 year old man, had recently taken a young bride, who was rumored to be engaged in multiple affairs, including with Michele Steno, a Venetian statesman and future Doge.  The consistent rumors and apparent intense arrogance of the established Venetian elite seems to have gotten to Faliero in this explanation for a coup.  A more reasonable one, however, is that Faliero wished to transform Venice into a dictatorship, mirroring those of Genoa and other northern Italian city-states.  This view is, however, disputed by some historians, who cite Faliero's apparent regret at his trial, and, his lack of mentioning his belief that a dictatorship would better suit Venice's interests, a valid argument.  These two actions are much more consistent with a man regretting a passionate crime, than one who had executed a calculated plan, some argue.  The coup was poorly organized and abortive.

Darkness (poem): "Darkness" is a poem written by Lord Byron in July 1816.  That year was known as the Year Without a Summer, because Mount Tambora had erupted in the Dutch East Indies the previous year, casting enough sulphur into the atmosphere to reduce global temperatures and cause abnormal weather across much of north-east America and northern Europe.  This pall of darkness inspired Byron to write his poem.  Literary critics were initially content to classify it as a "last man" poem, telling the apocalyptic story of the last man on earth.  More recent critics have focused on the poem's historical context, as well as the anti-biblical nature of the poem, despite its many references to the Bible.  The poem was written only months after the end of Byron's marriage to Anne Isabella Milbanke.

The Man With the Blue Guitar: "The Man With the Blue Guitar" is a poem published in 1937 by Wallace Stevens.  It is divided into thirty-three lengthy sections, or cantos, and takes the form of an imaginary conversation with the subject of Pablo Picasso's painting "The Old Guitarist", which Stevens likely viewed when it was exhibited at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1934.  But Stevens insisted this influence was only peripheral.  In a letter dated July 1, 1953, to Professor Renato Poggioli, who had recently translated his poem into Italian, Stevens wrote: "I had no particular painting of Picasso's in mind and even though it might help to sell the book to have one of his paintings on the cover, I don't think we ought to reproduce anything of Picasso's."

Blind Harry: Blind Harry ( 1440 – 1492), also known as Harry, Hary or Henry the Minstrel, is renowned as the author of "The Actes and Deidis of the Illustre and Vallyeant Campioun Schir William Wallace", more commonly known as "The Wallace".  This was a lengthy poem recounting the life of William Wallace, the Scottish independence leader, written around 1477, 172 years after Wallace's death.

Rejection Slips: "Rejection Slips" is a comic poem by American author Isaac Asimov, written in 1959 for the collection "Nine Tomorrows".  This poem intends to illustrate the three different approaches of the most important editors in science fiction at the time (John W. Campbell of Astounding, Horace Gold of "Galaxy Science Fiction" and Anthony Boucher of "The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction") when they had a story to reject.  Campbell sent lengthy and turgid analyses, Gold abusive little notes, and Boucher rejection slips so gentle one wondered whether he was taking the story or not.
