Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to James Russell Lowell, 31 July 1844, thanking him for copy of his Poems
(1844):
'Your "Legend of Brittany" is full of beautiful touches [...] Then among the miscellaneous
poems my pencil has marked various beauties & felicities. Chief of all I like the
[italics]ode[end italics], which has struck a deep string in me, as it must in all, to whom
Poetry has been as to me, the Life-light of existence.
'If I ventured to make a remark in criticism on this new volume in a general point of view, it
wd be that there is a certain vagueness of effect, through a redundant copiousness of what
may be called poetical diction!' |
