English and Scottish Ballads (The Poetry Bookshelf)
“Ancient sculpture is the true school of modesty. But where the Greeks had modesty, we have cant; where they had poetry, we have cant; where they had patriotism, we have cant; where they had anything that exalts, delights, or adorns humanity, we have nothing but cant, cant, cant.”
—Thomas Love Peacock (1785–1866)
