Excerpt from The Letters and Works of Charles Lamb, Vol. 1: Newly Arranged With Addiction; Edited With Introduction Notes
Most terrible event in her life. AS long as Mary Lamb survived her brother, no letters, however interesting, which bore upon that calamity or the sacrifices it entailed, or upon the frequent recur rence of the malady in the life of the sister, could be printed without large omissions. Hence the Letters in the volumes of 1837 were in many cases fragments only, and made no claim to be anything else.

Excerpt from The Letters and Works of Charles Lamb, Vol. 1: Newly Arranged With Addiction; Edited With Introduction Notes
Sonnet to Elia
Thou gentle Spirit, sweet and pure and kind,
Though strangely witted - "high fantastical" -
Who clothest thy deep feelings in a pall
Of motley hues that twinkle to the mind,
Half hiding, and yet heightening, what's enshrined
Within; - who by a power unknown to all
Save thee alone, canst bring up at a call
A thousand seeming opposites, entwined
In wondrous brotherhood - fancy, wild wit,
Quips, cranks, and wanton wiles, with deep sweet thought,
And stinging jests, with honey for the wound;
All blent in intermixture full and fit, -
A banquet for the choicest souls: - can aught
Repay the solace which from thee I've found?
