"John Dryden," Edinburgh Review (Jan 1828) - Macaulay, Thomas Babington | WIST Quotations
His imagination resembled the wings of an ostrich. It enabled him to run, though not to soar. When he attempted the highest flights, he became ridiculous; but, while he remained in a lower region, he outstripped all competitors. Review of John Dryden, The Political Works of John Dryden (1826)
