Which poet famously said that he woke up one morning to find himself famous following the release of his poem?

Explanation

The well-known statement, "I awoke one morning and found myself famous," was made by Lord George Byron. This occurred after the rapid success of his work Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage (1812), which sold out its initial print run within three days. This poem propelled Byron to immediate literary fame and secured his position as a prominent Romantic poet.
