Evidence: | 'Mr. Perry tried upon us [at school in Norwich] the reading of L'Allegro and Il Penseroso; and it failed utterly [...] Not long after he was gone, I read both pieces in the nursery, one day; and straightway went into a transport, as if I had discovered myself in possession of a new sense.' |
