He also wrote a Life of Bishop Ken. B. was an amiable, absent-minded, and rather eccentric man. His poems are characterised by refinement of feeling, tenderness, and pensive thought, but are deficient in power and passion. Other works are Coombe Ellen and St. Michael's Mount , The Battle of the Nile , The Sorrows of Switzerland , St. John in Patmos , etc.
"What I could do nicely would be to paint squirrels and monkeys playing on vines round the choir, or daisies and buttercups in a row, with one tall daisy in each group of five. That is the way for a woman to make herself useful." "Be serious!" "I feel more solemn than Mr. Wharton's great figure of John of Patmos. I am going home to burn my brushes and break my palette.
Is it any wonder that John Gordon's minister, when he was in the spirit in Patmos, should write him as we here read?
"Finally, in the middle, the great doorway illustrates the subject round which the storied carving of the other doors all centres: the Glorification of Our Lord, as Saint John beheld it at Patmos; the Apocalypse, the last book of the Bible, spread open on the forefront of the basilica, above the grand entrance to the church.

For he shall know and believe in his heart that his love and hope are set upon a country and a city founded in the heavens of which David sang, to which St John looked forth from Patmos, and of which these our Saints have told us.
Then give us the Dragon and Armageddon and the Lake of Fire. Author-producer-photographer, who would prophesy, read the last book in the Bible, not to copy it in form and color, but that its power and grace and terror may enter into you. Delineate in your own way, as you are led on your own Patmos, the picture of our land redeemed.
