writing which seems to require less effort than any other, and to be a mere spinning of gold thread out of the poet’s inner consciousness, is less and less at command, and when executed gives less and less satisfaction.  The gnomes of Pope, the fays and “trilbys” of Nodier, even the fairy-world of Doyle, are breathed upon by a race that has grown up habituated to science.  But even for such a race it must be long before the sumptuous glow and rich triumphant humour of The Shaving of Shagpat have lost all their attraction.
