Synopsis
Excerpt from Collections From the Greek Anthology: By the Late, Rev. Robert Bland, and Others; A New Edition; Comprising the Fragments of Early Lyric Poetry, Lyric Specimens, of All the Poets Included in Included Garland
The merit to which the poems in the Greek An thology have a claim, consists generally in the just ness of a single thought conveyed in harmonious language. Very little can be done in the space of a few couplets, and it only remains for the writer to do that little with grace. The eye is fatigued with being raised too long to gaze on rocks and preci pioes, and delights to repose itself on the refreshing verdure and gentle s10pes of scenery less bold and daring. In the same manner, the lover of poetry will sometimes find a grateful pause from grandeur and elevation, in the milder excellence of suavity and softness.
