The Honourable

Mrs Henry Thimelby.

Modern poetry too often resembles an artificial nosegay, the colours of which, though splendid, are yet tawdry, and heightened far beyond the modesty of nature, without any pretensions to fragrance; while that of a century and an half back appears as a garland fresh from the gardens of nature, and still moist and glittering with the dews of the morning.Headley—Introd. p. 25.
