Hayley, who had been intimate with Warton, and to whom some of the letters are addressed, I found him ignorant of its contents. It will supply me with much of what I have to relate concerning the subject of it. There is no instance in this country of two brothers having been equally celebrated for their skill in poetry with Joseph and Thomas Warton.
He holds about the same rank among our poets that Bertaut does among the French; but differs from him in this; that, whereas Bertaut was the earliest of a race analogous to the school of Dryden and Pope, so Hayley was the latest of the correspondent class amongst ourselves. In one respect he is deserving of most honourable notice.
The disturbance caused by this untoward incident, the repeated failures of literary attempts, the completion of Cowper's Life, which had been the main object of his coming, joined, doubtless, to a surfeit of Hayley, induced a return to London. He feared, too, that his imaginative faculty was failing. "The visions were angry with me at Felpham," he used afterwards to say.
In a moment, Mr. Hayley, whom she had never liked, and who she felt sure did not like her, would be coming in to have his luncheon, with another gentleman from London. Yes, there was the ring. She went to the front door and opened it with an unsmiling face. The two young men walked through into the hall.
I made a very early start, you know!" and he led his guest into the dining-room, calling out as he did so: "It's all right, Anna! We can wait on ourselves." Anna went back into her kitchen. She reminded herself that Mr. Hayley was one of those gentlemen who give a great deal of trouble and never a tip unless, that is, they are absolutely forced to do so by common custom.
"You must remember that she is a German. She probably regards herself in the light of a heroine!" The minutes dragged by, and it seemed to Mr. Reynolds that they had been waiting there at least half an hour, when at last he saw with relief the tall slim figure emerge through the great door of the Council House. Very deliberately James Hayley walked down the stone steps, and came towards them.
The day of publication was, however, delayed, that it might coincide with the fifty-first anniversary of my own birthday; the double festival was celebrated by a cheerful literary dinner at Mr. Cadell's house; and I seemed to blush while they read an elegant compliment from Mr. Hayley, whose poetical talents had more than once been employed in the praise of his friend. Before Mr.
No other formed house can ever please me so well, nor shall I ever be persuaded, I believe, that it can be improved, either in beauty or use. "Mr. Hayley received us with his usual brotherly affection. I have begun to work. Felpham is a sweet place for study, because it is more spiritual than London.
Hayley says much of his friend's extreme sensibility: his lips, writes the poet, 'quivered with emotions of pity at the sight of distress or at the relation of a pathetic story. Cumberland mentions that the painter was, 'by constitution, prone to tears. Yet his charity was not for home wear; the distress he did not see troubled him very little.
James Hayley looked surprised, but to her great relief, he allowed the stranger to slip by, and Anna for a moment watched the little man walking off at a smart pace towards the gate house. She wondered how she could manage to send him a message when the tiresome, inquisitive Mr. Hayley had gone. "But whose motor is that?" Mr. Hayley went on, in a puzzled tone.
