Reviews

"'It is singular that, for formed style and purely literary qualities, Blake perhaps never afterwards equalled the best things in this youthful volume...' - Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1863) 'The songs in this volume give evidence of so rare a gift of poetical judgement, such exquisite natural sense and art...' - Algernon Charles Swinburne (1868)"
