Perhaps the rumour of his conceits has frightened his reader. It must be granted they are now and then daunting; there is a poem on ""Princess Louisa Drawing"" which is a very maze; the little paths of verse and fancy turn in upon one another, and the turns are pointed with artificial shouts of joy and surprise. But, again, what a reader unused to a certain living symbolism will be apt to take for a careful and cold conceit is, in truth, a rapture--none graver, none more fiery or more luminous.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
