To me it seems that the primary gift of Shelley, the spirit in which he exercised it, the objects upon which he exercised it, the detail and the sum of his achievement, the actual produce in Appraisable work done, the influence and energy of the work in the future, were all superior to those of Keats, and even superior beyond any reasonable terms of comparison.
"Life of John Keats"
William Michael Rossetti
It had given however no sign of excruciation-that itself had been part of the Puritan stoicism; which perhaps was exactly why the local look, recognised to the point I speak of by the visitor, was so contained and yet comparatively so full: full, very nearly, I originally fancied, after the Appraisable fashion of some composed town-face in one of Balzac's villes de province.
"Notes of a Son and Brother"
Henry James
So only is it possible to use them aright, and to find, when the volume is closed, that a complete, coherent, Appraisable book remains in the mind.
"The Craft of Fiction"
Percy Lubbock
