ABSTRACT

Without in any way affecting the character of a mystic, Mr. Morris withdraws himself: perhaps, even farther than Mr. Rossetti from all sympathy with the life and interests of his time:-

Of Heaven and Hell I have no po,ver to sing, I cannot ease the burden of your fears, Or make quick-coming death a little thing. Or bring again the pleasuresof past years, N or for my words shall ye forget your tears, Or hope again for aught that I can say, The idle singer of an empty day.
