Lives of Famous Poets. William Michael Rossetti. London, New York: Ward, Lock & Co., 1878“My spirits,” [Felicia Dorothea Hemans] once wrote, “are as variable as the lights and shadows now flitting with the wind over the high grass, and sometimes the tears gush into my eyes when I can scarcely define the cause. I put myself in mind of an Irish melody sometimes, with its quick and wild transitions from sadness to gaiety.” -- source link
