The Byronic hero first appears in Byron's semi autobiographical epic narrative poem Childe Harold's Pilgrimage Many of Byron's characters are a similar specific type of the Romantic hero: An idealised but flawed character with great talent and passion, a distaste for society, disrispect towards rank and privilege, arrogance, overconfidence, selfdistructiveness.

Poetry by Walt Whitman Among the Multitude Among the men and women the multitude, I perceive one picking me out by secret and divine signs, Acknowledging none else, not parent, wife, husband, brother, child, any nearer than I am, Some are baffled, but that one is not--that one knows me. Ah lover and perfect equal, I meant that you should discover me so by faint indirections, And I when I meet you mean to discover you by the like in you. To a stanger Passing stranger! you do not know how longingly I look upon you, You must be he I was seeking, or she I was seeking, (it comes to me as of a dream,) I have somewhere surely lived a life of joy with you,
