Summary
Praising a poem; saying "This day in 1816 I made my first journey of 173 miles to school : to this must be traceable a childish wonder that comes over me when I read your utterly new poem done by your own psychographic process. It is so alive, so always going on, so perpetuated by you : it can never stop - you have enchanted it : alas! for human suffering!...I am much obliged to you for it; I like the strange work, (beauty says Verulamo Baco is always strange). I like it from my cerebral vibrations to the tips of my sensory nerves. It is future reading."
