"Ever young the face that dwells With reason cloister'd in the brain." In this way to many In Memoriam is almost a life-long companion: we walk with Great-heart for our guide through the valley Perilous. In this respect In Memoriam is unique, for neither to its praise nor dispraise is it to be compared with the other famous elegies of the world.
The Quarterly Review was accordingly set up. "Sithence no fairy lights, no quickning ray, Nor stir of pulse, nor object to entice Abroad the spirits; but the cloister'd heart Sits squat at home, like Pagod in a niche Obscure!"
The beauty of the carved work, with which the abbey is profusely decorated, is seldom equalled, and deservedly celebrated: "Spreading herbs and flow'rets bright, Glisten'd with the dew of night; Nor herb nor flow'ret glisten'd there, But was carved in the cloister'd arches as fair." There are in the external view of the building 50 windows, 4 doors, 54 niches, and above 50 buttresses.
