Seite 162 - ' The dominant charm of all these sonnets is the pervading presence of the writer's personality, never obtruded but always impalpably diffused. The light of a devout, gentle, and kindly spirit, a delicate and graceful fancy, a keen intelligence irradiates these thoughts.
Seite 266 - I did not, however, deem myself a competent judge of Carlyle. I felt that he was a poet and that I was not ; that he was a man of intuition, which I was not ; and that as such, he not only saw many things long before me, which I could only when they were pointed out...

The impression left is one of a pleasurable sadness.
