"[...]in the Ancient Mariner; but these flicker and go out. The style would be laughable in its simplicity if there were not in it some almost awing touch of innocence; some hint of that divine goodness which, in Lamb, needed the relief and savour of the later freakishness to sharpen it out of insipidity. There is already a sense of what is tragic and endearing in earthly existence, though no skill as yet in presenting it; and the moral of it is surely one of the morals or messages of Elia: 'God has built a brave world, but methinks he has left his creatures to bustle in it how they may.' Lamb had no sense of narrative, or, rather, he cared in a story only for the moments when it seemed to[...]".

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. One century in particular By Christopher (o.d.c.) Publication date: 1916Arthur Symons was a poet and critic, a minor Decadent, somewhat looked down upon by Oscar Wilde and Max Beerbohm.It is hard to escape the notion that he was the model for Enoch Soames: a memory of the eighteen-nineties.The essays are arranged chronologically by subject, and so one must linger a few centuries over Saint Augustine, John Donee, Casanova, Emily Bronte and Edgar Allan Poe before Mr. Symons really begins to get interesting. Coventry Patmore may be about 1/10,000 as important as Saint Augustine, but Symons's personal recollections of this older minor poet have a freshness and interest no one can attain about Augustine and other 'greats.' His essay on Walter Pater is likewise intimate and revealing:... Of De Quincey he spoke with an admiration which I had difficulty in sharing, and I remember his showing me with pride a set of his works bound in half-parchment, with pale gold lettering on the white backs, and with the cinnamon edges which he was so fond of. Of Flaubert we rarely met without speaking. He thought Julien l'Hospitalier as perfect as anything he had done. L'Education Sentimentale was one of the books which he advised me to read; that, and Le Rouge et le Noir of Stendhal; and he spoke with particular admiration of two episodes in the former, the sickness and the death of the child. Of the Goncourts he spoke with admiration tempered by dislike. Their books often repelled him, yet their way of doing things seemed to him just the way things should be done; and done before almost any one else.Or consider this reflection, prompted by a quote from a letter:'I send this prompt answer, for I know by experience that when I delay my delays are apt to be lengthy.' A review took him sometimes a year to get through; and remained in the end, like his letters, a little cramped, never finished to the point of ease, like his published writings.
