• “An inferior artist's only chance of giving pleasure.”
• “Blank verse really deserving the name I believe to be impossible except to one or two eminent writers in a generation.”
• “There are few writers whose text is in so satisfactory a state as Virgil's.”
• “Virgil imitated Homer, but imitated him as a rival, not as a disciple.”
• “In the moment of our talking, envious time has ebb'd away.Seize the present; trust to-morrow e'en as little as you may.”
