Our hypercritics are not thinking of these little fantoccini beings That strut and fret their hour upon the stage but of tall phantoms of words, abstractions, genera and species, sweeping clauses, periods that unite the Poles, forced alliterations, astounding antitheses And on their pens Fustian sits plumed. If they describe kings and queens, it is an Eastern pageant.
