Example Sentences

• "For that poem, though in certain ‘strange and high’ qualities it is the inferior of the best jets of the Caroline genius, is one of the most faultless and perfect things in this or indeed in any period of English poetry, and may be said to impart the Caroline essence in a form that can be (in the medical sense) ‘borne’ by all who have any feeling for poetry at all, as hardly anything else does."
