Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Elia: Essays Which Have Appeared Under That Signature in the London Magazine
Afresh to grateful Memory now appealing, Fain would I bless thee - ere I let thee go.
From month to morith has the exhaustless ?ow Of thy original mind, its wealth revealing, With quaintest humour, and deep pathos healing The world's rude wounds, revived Life's early glow: And, mixt with this, at time's, to earnest thought Glimpses of truth, most simple and sublime, By thy imagination have been brought Over my Spirit. From the olden time Of Authorship thy Patent should be dated, And thou with M arvell, Browne, and Burton, mated.
