And Theos Alwyn was essentially, and above all things, faithful to the lofty purpose of his calling, he dealt with his art reverently, and not in rough haste and scrambling carelessness, if he worked out any idea in rhyme, the idea was distinct and the rhyme was perfect, he was not content, like Browning, to jumble together such hideous and ludicrous combinations as "high; Humph!" and "triumph," moreover, he knew that what he had to tell his public must be told comprehensively, yet grandly, with all the authority and persuasiveness of incisive rhetoric, yet also with all the sweetness and fascination of a passioned love-song.
