Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poems to Ianthe The poems addressed to Ianthe fall into three dis tinct groups: first, those written during the time of Landor's first love for Ianthe and of his dejection at the failure of his suit (i lxxiii) second, those written to Ianthe in after years (lxxiv lxxxviii) third, those written upon Ianthe's death (lxxxix-xci). The love story as told in the poems seems to show that at the outset Landor received great encourage ment and had some reason to believe his affection was returned. Then followed a visit by Ianthe across the sea; where or for what purpose we do not know. During this time Landor anxiously awaited her re turn, only to find when she did'come back, that her heart had been bestowed elsewhere. The poems written after this event portray how keenly he felt the loss of one he loved so well. In time his grief abated and he was able to view those years of love more placidly.
