Evidence: | Letter to Miss Dunbar May 1802 [see note] 'I will give you my opinion, such as it will be after a hasty perusal, of the poem you had the goodness to send me; but you in return must give me yours of Dr. Cowper?s Malachi. I did not tell you how very ill I have been of the Cowper mania. I do not mean the doctor, but the delightful author of The Task. Read his letters by Hayley, and his life, as I did, and you will find them "Of power to take the captive soul/
And lap it in Elysium."' |
