Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Leigh Hunt and Thomas Hood: Selected Plutarch, in those ingenious parallels of his, was partial to the practice of what, in homely phraseology, is termed "rubbing off odd corners," He would compare Themistocles with Camillus, Poplicola with Solon, Demosthenes with Cicero. If the head of Themistocles was not entirely suitable to the purpose, or the tail of Camillus lacked its due prehension, off came a portion of the one and a section of the other. As the superfluous material was too valuable to be lost, the head was sometimes pressed into the service of the other extreme. Leigh Hunt and Thomas Hood had some points in common, but it would tax similar ingenuity to draw any decided comparison between them.
