I wrote an essay for uni once about the Romantic poets roasting each other, which included the Byron poem about Keats quoted here! Byron wasn't a great fan of his contemporaries' poetry in general, preferring Milton and Donne, among others.

Keats's opinion of Byron was no more positive - in his view, the only reason they weren't equally successful as poets was Byron's higher social status. Reading about the rivalry between the two was pretty fascinating :)

More leniency on Chekhov (like Chekov) would be helpful
