Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.

All art, is at its resurrection sav’d;
All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n,
Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.”
—Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
