The fainting trope appears in this, from a biography of Lord Byron: "At a ball in London . . . a woman fainted at the sight of him; another warned her daughter, ''Don't look at him, he is dangerous to look at.'' One-time lovers, like the louche Mrs. Wherry, cherished fetishistic mementos of his person -- including black curling locks of his pubic hair -- like magic talismans."
