Half Witted Sheep Quotes

“When sonneteering Wordsworth re-creates the landing of Mary Queen of Scots at the mouth of the Derwent -

Dear to the Loves, and to the Graces vowed,
The Queen drew back the wimple that she wore

- he unveils nothing less than a canvas by Rubens, baroque master of baroque masters; this is the landing of a TRAGIC Marie de Medicis.
Yet so receptive was the English ear to sheep-Wordsworth's perverse 'Enough of Art' that it is not any of these works of supreme art, these master-sonnets of English literature, that are sold as picture postcards, with the text in lieu of the view, in the Lake District! it is those eternally, infernally sprightly Daffodils.”
