Mere Sentiment Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Mere Sentiment Wattle-Worship 'Your ghost will walk, you lover of trees (If our loves remain), In an English lane, By a cornfield-side a-flutter with poppies, Hark, those two in the hazel coppice - A boy and a girl, if the good fates please, Making love, say, - The happier they! Draw yourself up from the light of the moon, And let them pass, as they will too soon, With the bean-flowers' boon, And the blackbird's tune, And May, and June!' Robert Browning. Men who liked Hatton Valyard at Oxford, said he was eccentric. Men who disliked him, then and when he left the university, affirmed that he was mad, Valyard was not liked by many people, and his own family - the Catholic Valyards of Shropshire, not the Cumberland family - positively hated him. They objected, for one thing, to his calling himself a Buddhist; but that about the man which they most disliked, was his obvious and utter indifference as to whether they liked him or not.
