The Biography of the Book and Its Reviewers Reviewed.
[" It has occurred to me that perhaps it would be a good plan to put a set of notes . . . to the ’Origin,’ which now has none, exclusively devoted to the errors of my reviewers. It has occurred to me that where a reviewer has erred a common reader might err. Secondly, it will show the reader that we must not trust implicitly to reviewers."—DARWIN’S LIFE. ii. 349.]
TO RICHARD FRANCIS BURTON.
The Thousand Nights and a Night.
Athwart the welkin slant the snows and pile On sill and balcony, their feathery feet Trip o’er the landscape, and pursuing sleet Earth’s brow beglooming, robs the skies of smile: Lies in her mourning-shroud our Northern Isle And bitter winds in battle o’er her meet. Her world is death-like, when behold! we greet Light-gleams from morning-land in welcome while.
A light of golden mine and orient pearl— Vistas of fairy-land, where Beauty reigns And Valiance revels; cloudless moon, fierce sun, The wold, the palm-tree; cities; hosts; a whirl Of life in tents and palaces and fanes: The light that streams from THOUSAND NIGHTS AND ONE.
Isabel Burton, Tangier, Marocco: Feb. 19, 1886.
