He partly answers us in his first Satire, where he tells us that it is in revenge for the poetry that has been inflicted on himself: "Semper ego auditor tantum nunquamne reponam?" But it arises also from a higher motive

I can only say of this lady, vidi tantum. I saw her first just as I rose out of an illness from which I had never thought to recover. I remember the trembling little frame, the little hand, the great honest eyes. An impetuous honesty seemed to me to characterize the woman.

A little below the summit of the cliff, from the large cavern which has been fashioned to represent the Holy Sepulchre, there issues a brilliant light, together with the sound of many voices singing the 'Tantum ergo.

But this I know and know full well: I do not love thee Dr. Fell." has puzzled a great many people, who cannot conceive how it is possible not to love anybody, and yet not to know the reason why.
But in respect of all facts and principles which lie really at the basis of things, the Conservative party was, as a whole, dumb. I began to say to myself daily, "Semper ego auditor tantum?
