  • He is rather unduly severe on the single letter of Keats which he quotes; but that was his way, and it is after all only a justifiable rhetorical _reculade_, with the intent to leap upon the maudlin defenders of the poet as a sort of hero of M. Feydeau, and rend them.

    Matthew Arnold George Saintsbury 1889
