. While feeling for Nature was all of this character, idyllic, sensitive, sympathetic, but within very narrow bounds, and the poetsgenerally were wandering among Greek and Latin bucolics and playingwith Damon, Myrtil, Chloe, and Daphnis, Salomon Gessner made aspeciality of elegiac pastoral poetry. He was a better landscapistthan poet, and his drawings to illustrate his idylls were better thanthe poems themselves. The forest, for instance, and the felling ofthe tree, are well drawn; whereas the ...sickly sweet Rococo verse inimitation of the French, and reminding one more of Longos thanTheocritus, is lifeless. His rhapsody about Nature is uncongenial tomodern readers, but his love was real. The introduction 'to the Reader'[8] is characteristic: These Idylls are the fruits of some of my happiest hours; of those hours when imagination and tranquillity shed their sweetest influence over me, and, excluding all which belongs to the period in which we live, recalled all the charms and delights of the Golden Age.
