註釋

"Zorrilla is a fanciful poet. His mission will not fail for want of freshness or abundance. His imagination is tropical, growing in wild fantastic forms, and in him all the orientalism of Spain finds full expression. He fairly reels, at times, in what the French would call une ivresse poétique. His verses are something more than rhymes, and what he says could not be so well said in prose. The charm of poetry he has made his own. He writes, as a musician would compose, in harmony that wins the ear and the heart." -Samuel EliotZorrilla, The Poet offers a survey of one of the most popular literary figures of 19th century Spain, bringing together the entirety of Samuel Eliot's 1846 volume Translations from the Spanish Poet, José Zorrilla, with a Sketch of His Life along with his most anthologized poems, and closing with another essay, "A Spanish Poet-Laureate" by Fanny Hale Gardiner.
