| Carter, Elizabeth. Poems on Several Occasions. 1808. | Poetry | “February 12, 1740-1. I cannot, even by the help of my spectacles, discern any thing in the Dialogue injurious to the orthodoxy either of reason or religion. I am aware, that some Sceptics will charge this position with contradiction. For what third party can carry it fair with two others, which are (say they) always quarrelling? Sed ad rem. I like the verses well, and think the objections against mud walls improperly made. 'Twas the business of each litigant to run down its opponent. And truly (though it is a coarse expression for me to use to a lady) the body is no better. The interpretation of Restlessness, Discontent, is scarce less ridiculous than the sagacious conjecture of its intention to run down all speculative knowledge. Speculative knowledge, I suppose, comes from the exercise of the mind; and I was so dull at my first (and continue so at my second) reading of this piece, as to think the moral (or, if you please, the design) of it was to teach us, that the mind is the better part, and ought therefore to be chiefly cultivated by us. And why too should an endeavour to call us off from too great a love of our bodies to a greater regard to our mind, be interpreted Spleen and Discontent? In a word, I think them very pretty, and am not at all charged in my sentiments by the criticisms against them.” | quote | Unlikely to be published elsewhere. | |
