"A Man he seems of cheerful yesterdays
And confident to-morrows; with a face
Not worldly-minded, for it bears too much
Of Nature's impress,—gaiety and health,
Freedom and hope; but keen withal, and shrewd.
His gestures note,—and hark ! his tones of voice
Are all vivacious as his mien and looks."
The Excursion, Book VII.
