When he gets hold of a good fancy, he lacks the patience that is necessary in order to work it up in an effective way. He is a gross plagiarist, and over and over again violates in the most glaring manner all the ordinary proprieties of style. What can be more absurd, for instance, than the language which he puts into the mouth of Layelah?
I think, however, that when you come to weigh the motives actuating both Blood and the Spanish Admiral, in that affair, and when you consider how integrally the event is a part of Blood's history whilst merely a detached incident in Morgan's you will reach my own conclusion as to which is the real plagiarist.
Perhaps no poet is a conscious plagiarist; but there seems to be warrant for suspecting that there is no poet who is not at one time or another an unconscious one. The above verses are indeed beautiful, and, in a way, touching; but there is a haunting something about them which unavoidably suggests the Sweet Singer of Michigan.
Thou shalt hear a most choice legend of love an thou wilt listen " here he laid his hand affectionately on Theos's shoulder "a legend set about, methinks, with wondrous jewels of poetic splendor! ... 'tis a rare privilege I offer thee, my friend, for as a rule Zabastes is my only auditor, but I would swear thou art no plagiarist, and wouldst not dishonor thine own intelligence so far as to filch pearls of fancy from another minstrel!
The stork said huskily, "The fashion of this world passeth away." And the wail of the eagle was, "Howsoever long life may be, yet its inevitable term is death." "Now that is virtually what I said," declared the stork, "and you are a bold-faced and bald-headed plagiarist." "And you," replied the eagle, clutching the stork's throat, "are a dead bird that will deliver no more babies."
Her 'Sketches from Natural History' in the Christmas Box have much of the moral nay, rather the religious spirit that permeates all Wordsworth's smaller poems, however light and slight the subject, and show that Mary Howitt is not only well-read in the book of Bewick, but also in the book from which Bewick has borrowed all glorious plagiarist and every other inspired zoologist Shepherd.
Taking everything into serious consideration, he came at last to the deeply mortifying conclusion that it must be himself who was the plagiarist, the unconscious imitator of Sah-luma's ideas and methods, . . and the worst of it was that his imitation was so terribly EXACT! Oh, how heartily he despised himself for his poor and pitiful lack of originality!
He held his peace, however, until Phillips brought out a Law-Dictionary or Nomothetes, also largely copied from his own Nomo-lexicon, when he could refrain himself no longer, and burst upon the world with his indignant pamphlet, 'A World of Errors discovered in the New World of Words, and in Nomothetes or the Interpreter, in which he exhibits the proofs of Phillips's cribbing, and makes wild sport of the cases in which his own errors and misprints had either been copied or muddled by his plagiarist.
'Like all the rest of us, she laughed. 'Mummie, what is a plagiarist? asked Jinny instantly; and as Rogers, her husband, and even Minks came hurriedly to her aid, the spell of the strange recital was broken, and out of the turmoil of voices the only thing distinctly heard was Mother exclaiming with shocked surprise: 'Why, it's ten o'clock!
The Cardinal smiled upon him, unabashed. "And what then, pray? Can we avoid these things? Why, the very Virgil whom you plagiarize so freely was himself a plagiarist." Now this, as you may well conceive, provoked a discussion about the board, in which all joined, not excepting Fifanti's lady and Donna Leocadia.
