27/32 It is like a poem by Goethe, only Goethe would have seen the "sight" not when he was dying, but when he was alive to his finger-tips. The second is not like Goethe's work, nor Browning's; but it is a true picture of what many feel and are. As to _Natural Magic_, surely it is the most charming of compliments, most enchantingly expressed. The _Croisic Poets_ are agreeable studies, written with verve and lucidity, of two fantastic events which lifted these commonplace poets suddenly into fame. |
