[270] A year before, FitzGerald wrote to Professor Cowell:
‘I was trying yesterday to recover Gray’s Elegy, as you had been doing down here at Christmas, with shut Eyes. But I had to return to the Book: and am far from perfect yet: though I leave out several Stanzas; reserving one of the most beautiful which Gray omitted. Plenty of faults still: but one doats on almost every line, every line being a Proverb now.’
