{3} Reverently some well-meaning persons have placed a marble slab on
the wall of the cemetery with a medallion-profile of Keats on it and some
mediocre lines of poetry. The face is ugly, and rather hatchet-shaped,
with thick sensual lips, and is utterly unlike the poet himself, who was
very beautiful to look upon. 'His countenance,' says a lady who saw him
at one of Hazlitt's lectures, 'lives in my mind as one of singular beauty
and brightness; it had the expression as if he had been looking on some
glorious sight.' And this is the idea which Severn's picture of him
gives. Even Haydon's rough pen-and-ink sketch of him is better than this
'marble libel,' which I hope will soon be taken down. I think the best
representation of the poet would be a coloured bust, like that of the
young Rajah of Koolapoor at Florence, which is a lovely and lifelike work
of art.
{19} It is perhaps not generally known that there is another and older
peacock ceiling in the world besides the one Mr. Whistler has done at
Kensington. I was surprised lately at Ravenna to come across a mosaic
ceiling done in the keynote of a peacock's tail--blue, green, purple, and
gold--and with four peacocks in the four spandrils. Mr. Whistler was
unaware of the existence of this ceiling at the time he did his own.
{43} An Unequal Match, by Tom Taylor, at Wallack's Theatre, New York,
November 6, 1882.
{74} 'Make' is of course a mere printer's error for 'mock,' and was
subsequently corrected by Lord Houghton. The sonnet as given in The
Garden of Florence reads 'orbs' for 'those.'
{158} September 1890. See Intentions, page 214.

{172} The verses called 'The Shamrock' were printed in the Sunday Sun,
August 5, 1894, and the charge of plagiarism was made in the issue dated
September 16, 1894.
{188} Cousin errs a good deal in this respect. To say, as he did, 'Give
me the latitude and the longitude of a country, its rivers and its
mountains, and I will deduce the race,' is surely a glaring exaggeration.
{190} The monarchical, aristocratical, and democratic elements of the
Roman constitution are referred to.

{193b} [Greek].
{193c} The various stages are [Greek].

{197b} Polybius, i. 4, viii. 4, specially; and really passim.
{198a} He makes one exception.
