Life of Johnson.
“QF OLD SHERIDAN he remarked, that he neither wanted parts nor literature; but that his vanity and Quixotism obscured his merits." “ JJE WAS NO ADMIRER of blankverse and said it always failed unless sustained by the dignity of the subject. In blank-verse, he said, the language suffered more distortion, to keep it out of prose, than any inconvenience or limitation to be apprehended from the shackles and circumspection of rhyme." © si © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © ©^
