And she had conceived a preposterous admiration for Barbara Madden's work. "It'll be an enchanting book if she illustrates it, Horatio." "If she illustrates it!" But when he tried to show Fanny the absurdity of the idea Horatio Bysshe Waddington illustrated by Barbara Madden she laughed in his face and told him he was a conceited old thing.
Its origin became clear to her as Ralph Bevan's words shot into her mind: "I don't want to spoil him for you." She foresaw a possible intimacy in which Horatio Bysshe Waddington would become the unique though unofficial tie between them. She was aware that it pleased her to share a secret jest with Ralph Bevan.
Into the hall, meant to accommodate two hundred, three hundred people were packed. The men in their rusty black, the women in their simple white or flowered dresses, the children brushed and pig-tailed, had all brought their Sunday manners and serious, attentive faces. On the low platform presently appeared the Rev. Adelbert Bysshe and Squire Hardy.
A little hedge of rose and bay surrounds his grave, which bears the simple inscription "PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY; Cor Cordium." "Nothing of him that doth fade, But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange." Glorious, but misguided Shelley!
Richard Garnet, entitled, "Shelley in Pall-Mall"; to this Mr. Peacock replied in "Percy Bysshe Shelley: Supplementary Notice"; and Mr. Garnet rejoined in the new little volume which he ha; edited. The main purpose of this last notice is, to show that Mr. Peacock was not accurate in his chronology or in his interpretation of the severance between Shelley and Harriet.
This person, Bysshe Shelley by name, had in his youth been associated with some mystery. He was not born in England, but in America and in those days the name "America" meant almost anything indefinite and peculiar.
Boughton is not here himself, for he told me he would never say that word to people he has always trusted and lived with all his life. But I am saying it for him because I think I ought to, and you can see for yourselves how fair it is. "Now, that's about all I've got to add to what Mr. Bysshe has said to you. Yes, there's one thing more.
Shelley's happiness in his home had been wounded and bruised almost to death, secondly, because Harriet's studies "had dwindled away to nothing, Bysshe had ceased to express any interest in them." At what time was this? It was when Harriet "had fully recovered from the fatigue of her first effort of maternity... and was now in full force, vigor, and effect."
Percy Bysshe Shelley, the elder of the two, was Byron's junior by four years, and was born at Field Place in Sussex in August 1792. He was the heir of a very respectable and ancient though not very distinguished family of the squirearchy; and he had every advantage of education, being sent to Eton in 1804, and to University College, Oxford, six years later.
His poetry also has been subject to very different constructions. During his lifetime it obtained little notice save for purposes of disparagement and denunciation. These are all points on which I shall here offer no personal opinion. Percy Bysshe Shelley came of a junior and comparatively undistinguished branch of a very old and noted family.
