  • The
  • poems
  • comprising
  • this
  • volume
  • have
  • appeared
  • from
  • time
  • to
  • time
  • in
  • the
  • magazine
  • published
  • in
  • connection
  • with
  • the
  • church—St.
  • Barnabas,
  • Pimlico—of
  • which
  • Mr.
  • Gurney
  • was
  • vicar.
  • They
  • are,
  • therefore,
  • devotional
  • in
  • character.
  • They
  • are
  • also,
  • in
  • some
  • degree,
  • symbolical
  • and
  • mystical.
  • Mr.
  • Gurney
  • has
  • evidently
  • been
  • a
  • good
  • deal
  • under
  • the
  • influence
  • of
  • that
  • earlier
  • phase
  • of
  • Rossetti's
  • art—both
  • in
  • printing
  • and
  • poetry—which
  • dallied
  • with
  • spiritual
  • mysteries,
  • and
  • sought
  • to
  • give
  • them
  • a
  • visible
  • embodiment.
  • The
  • author
  • comes
  • somewhat
  • late
  • as
  • a
  • disciple
  • of
  • the
  • revival
  • of
  • mediaeval
  • feeling,
  • which
  • began
  • in
  • this
  • country
  • forty
  • yoars
  • ago;
  • but
  • ho
  • has
  • the
  • distinction
  • of
  • being
  • more
  • attracted
  • by
  • the
  • spiritual
  • than
  • by
  • the
  • aesthetic
  • side
  • of
  • that revival.
