| Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to Hugh Stuart Boyd, 29 January 1830:
'As you like epigrams, & are not likely to have met with one which I met with yesterday in the
Times newspaper, & thought ingenious, I will write it down. The subject is Mr [Martin Archer]
Shee's election to the office of President, in the room of Sir Thomas Lawrence, -- a
circumstance unexpected by any person, -- Mr Shee being better known by his "Rhymes on
Art" than by his practice in art.
'"Pictoribus atque poetis,
Quidlibet audendi" --
'Lo! Painting crowns her sister Poesy --
The world is all astonished! So is [italics]She[end italics].' |
