Excerpt from English Literature, an Illustrated Record, Vol. 4 of 4: From the Age of Johnson to the Age of TennysonInnocentium, 1846, a children's garland of lyric thoughts. Each of these, but par ticularly the former, has enjoyed a great and a scarcely flagging popularity; of The Cfiniriian Year it is said that copies were sold during Keble's lifetime. With all his sincerity and appositeness, Keble has scarcely secured a place among the poets. In the first heyday of its triumph, Wordsworth said of le Christian Year, It is so good that, if it were mine, I would write it all over again, and this phrase indicates Reble's fatal want of intensity as a poet.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
