“Mrs. Meynell has made a good selection from Mr. Tabb’s poems, and we miss nothing we should desire to see reprinted. At his best he has the quaintness and poignancy of Crashaw, but he is not always at his best; and when his conceits master him he is guilty of doubtful taste. Sometimes, as in the sonnet ‘Unmoored,’ he attains a fine dignity of rhythm; but his strength lies usually in simple catches, in which a thought or an emotion is delicately wedded to a metaphor.”
