ABSTRACT

A healthful, noble, picturesque poet is this Wm. Morris! How Keats would have loved him! ! and Charles Lamb, and Coleridge! !

(d) From a letter from Virginia Hankins, 15{?) September 1870 (Lanier, viii, 106, note): You do not like 'this Babylon'- Willianl Morris, whose poetry ... brings to one so forcibly the sense of flowers-birds-Iong green shadows-lives in London and is an upholsterer,-most commonplace calling.
