"Uriel" is a poem which finds itself perilously near to the gulf of unsounded obscurity, and has, I doubt not, provoked the mirth of profane readers; but read in a lucid moment, it is just obscure enough and just significant enough to give the voltaic thrill which comes from the sudden contacts of the highest imaginative conceptions.
King Saul embodies, for instance, the conflict between ecclesiastical and temporal authority between the authority of the church and the claims of the thinker and the poet; Richard Savage that between the pride of noble birth and the promptings of the mother's heart; Werner , A White Leaf , and Ottfried , variations of the conflict between a man's duty and his vacillating, simultaneous love of two women; Patkul , the conflict between the hero's championship of truth and justice and the triumphant inertia of authority in the hands of a weak prince; Uriel Acosta , the best of the author's serious plays, embodies the tragic conflict between the hero's conviction of truth and his love for his mother and for his intended wife.

"Never fear; when Charlie touches him with his spear, or sees him light on the top of Niphates one of which things will happen soon enough he'll not be slow to discover who he is. If not, I'll tell Walter, and he shall be Charlie's Uriel." "Touches him with his spear! what spear? top of Niphates!
Once he addressed a prayer to God, in which he complained of the misfortune of Israel and the prosperity of the heathen nations.
