To have an overwhelming flow of words is one thing; to have a
large vocabulary is another; and very often Swinburne’s torrent
of speech reminds us not so much of a natural fountain whose
springs are deep and abundant, as of an artificial fountain,
which is always ready to shoot aloft its glittering spray, and
always reabsorbs itself for some further service; so that while
the fashion of the jet may differ, the water is pretty much the
same.--W. J. DAWSON, “The Makers of English Poetry.”
