This was, as the Yankees say, " a large order. " I do not, however, mean to convey that all this was embodied in the original programme, but it resembled some others, political and otherwise, in its capacity for absorbing any special fad that was drifting about. The painters were in the forefront of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, but now the poets were to be conspicuous. Rossetti and Swinburne were leading representatives of the poetical school affected by the Esthetes. Although each possessed ce...rtain distinct individualities, which are by this time well understood, each had characteristics which, in a greater or less degree, were common to both and specially typical of the school. Speaking generally, ^Esthetic poets pitched their voices in a minor key, and their thoughts were usually expressed in a pessimistic vein. They delighted in out-of-the-way phrases and archaisms, and everything that savoured of quaintness. The amatory or erotic sentiment was often unpleasantly prominent, and love in its physical aspects was unduly dwelt upon.
