Johnny Depp, poet and libertine?




This is the promo poster starring Johnny Depp from The Libertine - a horrendously inept piece of film directing if ever there was one. It's an attempted biopic of John Wilmot, the infamously debauched 2nd Earl of Rochester, who incidentally was of Anglo Irish descent. If you're unfortunate enough to have suffered through this film (I found myself preferring to stare at a plant in boredom) you'll have noticed our 17th century hero is supposed to be quite the poet among other things. I could do an autopsy, but that would be straying from home. Forget the film, and go straight to this site to read the unmangled originals.
