| Evidence: | "I have been laughed at unmercifully by some of the phlegmatic personages around the library table for my impatience to send you The Mine. Do you think Margaret cannot live five minutes longer without it? ... Observe, I think the poem as a drama, tiresome in the extreme, and absurd, but I wish you to see the very letters from the man in the quick silver mine which you recommended to me have been seized upon by a poet of no inferior genius. Some of the strophes of the fairies are most beautifullly poetic." |
