"After visiting a mistress at a palazzo in Venice one evening, Lord Byron jumped, fully clothed, into the Grand Canal and swam home. The following night - in order to avoid being wounded by the oars of passing gondolieri - he was careful to hold a torch in one hand to make himself seen."
I found this quote interesting as not only does it speak on Lord Byron, a great writer and interestingly strange human being, but it also states that he swam the grand canal AFTER visiting one of his mistresses. I bet his mistress was glad he didn't decide to swim the grand canal to see her.
