Evidence: | 'Humphry James is good. Is he very deep or very simple? And by the bye R.Bridges is a poet I'm damned if he ain't! There's more poesy in one page of "Shorter Poems" than in the whole volume of Tennyson. This is my deliberate opinion. And what a descriptive power! The man hath wings--sees from on high.' |
