" Here is the letter which Meredith wrote to Thomson on April 27, 1880, after reading the latter's first volume : — " I will not delay any longer to write to you on the subject of your book, though I am not yet in a condition to do justice either to the critic or the... poet, for, owing to the attack I suffered under last year, I have been pensioned off all work of any worth of late ; and in writing to you about this admirable and price- less book of verse, I have wished to be competent to express my feeling for your merit, and as much as possible the praise of such rarely-equalled good work. My friends could tell you that I am a critic hard to please. They say that irony lurks in my eulogy. I am not, in truth, frequently satisfied by verse. Well, I have gone through your volume — and partly a second time — and I have not found the line I would propose to recast.
