Evidence:
Katherine Cockell to Elizabeth Barrett, 30 June 1843: 'I could not put Orion out of my hands for my needful food, -- nor out of my head for my more needful sleep. I was wholly possessed, rapt away into some new sphere never before dreamt of, & all this, (& much more than all this) tho' I have no classical enthusiasm (of course not!) real or affected; & tho' I have a particular antipathy to Giants.'
