Admire Quote by Henry David Thoreau
“We admire Chaucer for his sturdy English wit… But though it is full of good sense and humanity, it is not transcendent poetry.For picturesque description of persons it is, perhaps, without a parallel in English poetry; yet it is essentially humorous, as the loftiest genius never is.”
![“Brilliant. [Lasdun] seems to me certainly among the most gifted, vivid, and deft poets now writing in English, and far better than many who are more famous. His capacities are solidly established; his promise is nearly infinite.” quote by Anthony Hecht](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/53f/anthony-hecht-35816_brilliant_brilliant-lasdun-seems-to-me-certainly-a_3106037.jpg)
