These old-fashioned folk had not learnt the trick of nil admirari.
If he could give expression to it in a book of poems perhaps men would listen. He would never be popular: he saw that.

The prayer throughout is full of allusions and quotations, and shows how this cupbearer of Artaxerxes had fed his young soul on God's word, and drawn thence the true nourishment of high and holy thoughts and strenuous resolutions and self-sacrificing deeds.

The great tracts which had been purchased and the great men who had purchased them were vividly impressed upon her imagination.
