s mightier than a
sword, but with a sword as well, and what he writes acquires a mythical
value. Should his writing ever lose the power to evoke this figure, it
might suffer heavily. We to-day have many temptations to over praise
him, because he is a Great Man, a big truculent outdoor wizard, who comes
to our doors with a marvellous company of Gypsies and fellows whose like
we shall never see again and could not invent. When we have used the
impulse he may give us towards a ruder liberty, he may be neglected; but
I cannot believe that things so much alive as many and many a page of
Borrow will ever die.
