The poems that follow these four volumes are mixed work, half imaginative, half intellectual.

Sometimes both kinds are found, separated, in the same poem; sometimes in one volume half the poems will be imaginative and the other half not.

Could the imaginative and intellectual elements have now been fused as they were in his earlier work, it were well; but they were not.

They worked apart.

His witful poems are all wit, his analytical poems are all analysis, and his imaginative poems, owing to this want of fusion, have not the same intellectual strength they had in other days.
