Daily Dose

From William Cowper's Letters: A Selection, edited by E. V. Lucas

MY DEAR COUSIN

"You ask me how I like Smollett's Don Quixote? I answer, well, -- perhaps better than any body's; but having no skill in the original, some diffidence becomes me."

From a letter to Lady Hesketh, dated The Lodge, May 6, 1788
