George Gissing
WHEN I admit neglect of Gissing,
They say I don’t know what I’m missing.
Until their arguments are subtler,
I think I’ll stick to Samuel Butler.
Walter Savage Landor
UPON the work of Walter Landor
I am unfit to write with candor.
If you can read it, well and good;
But as for me, I never could.
George Sand
WHAT time the gifted lady took
Away from paper, pen, and book,
She spent in amorous dalliance
(They do those things so well in France).
