It is in _Don Juan_ that Byron stands forth as the founder andprecursor of modern realism in poetry. He has now finally exorcisedthe hyperbolic fiend that vexed his youth, he has cast off theillusions of romance, he knows the ground he treads upon, and hispictures are drawn from life; he is the foremost of those who haveventured boldly upon the sombre actualities of war and bloodshed:-- 'But let me put an end unto my theme, There was an end of Ismail, hapless town, Far flashed her burning tower...s o'er Danube's stream, And redly ran his blushing waters down. The horrid warwhoop and the shriller scream Rose still; but fainter were the thunders grown; Of forty thousand that had manned the wall Some hundreds breathed, the rest were silent all. ' 'A versified paraphrase, ' it may be said, 'of sober history, ' yetwithal very different from the most animated prose, which must be keptat a lower temperature of intense expression. If we turn to quieterscenes--which are called picturesque because the artist, like apainter, has selected the right subject and point of view, and hasgrouped his details with exquisite skill--we may take the stanzasdescribing the return of the pirate Lambro to his Greek island-- 'He saw his white walls shining in the sun, His garden trees all shadowy and green'-- as a fine example of pure objective writing, which lays out the wholescene truthfully, with the direct vision of one who has seen it.
