About the Book

From the Introduction to the first volume: The inscription for a Quaker's tankard- "Ye lie friend Pindar and friend Thales! Nothing so good as water? Ale is." -is worth all the more polished verse in which the young poets of Oxford have been wont to echo the achieved singers of the outside world. Other poetical works of more importance followed, and among them Gebir. This poem, though written when its author was only twenty-three, shows that even then he had acquired a definite poetic style. Like his prose his verse is characteristic. Both have the same grave and sometimes rugged march in them. In both the ruggedness is often broken by sentences of such marvellous art and beauty that the reader wonders how the same man could write in two such different manners. But the wonder is idle. The artist who has strength to be austere needs no other strength; he who has once made the bleak summits familiar to his feet, cannot but discover that there grow flowers the fairer for their isolation. To the reader, indeed, austerity may be unattractive, and sometimes with reason. It is only in the moods of highest inspiration that art and austerity can dwell together; and Landor no less than any other artist is subject to this law. Passages may be found both in his verse and in his prose where the reader's attention flags. The air of the mountains is no longer around him, and he is left to contend with a bare style expressive of no lofty thought. His consolation is that from the plain to the loftiest heights is for Landor only a step.
