The author of
" The Vision of Rubeta " has done better, and Perci-
val better yet ; but no one has seemed to suspect that
the natural preponderance of spondaic words in the
Latin and Greek must, in the English, be supplied by
art — that is to say, by a careful culling of the few
spondaic words which the affords — as, for
example, here : —
Man is a | complex, | compound, | compost, | yet is he | God-bom.
