ABSTRACT
Both the Old and the New Testaments are pervaded by a sense of the infinite environing the individual, while the emphasis of the classical accent is, as we have said, finality objectively sublimed. In the personal and plaintive is to be found the method of what he style ‘Impressionism’. It is just this quality, and not his acquaintance with the mythology of Lemprière, that makes Keats an impressionist; just this, and not his whimsical irregularities, that so causes us to regard Sterne; just this, and not his euphuisms and conceits, that places Donne in the same category.
