The two quiet lives are Dorothy Osborne, writer of the famous love
letters to William Temple, and Thomas Gray, poet, Cambridge don and
friend of Horace Walpole. They lived a century apart, but as David
Cecil shows, were temperamentally akin. Both were reserved,
introspective and prone to melancholy: both appeared awkward and
difficult save to the few to whom they opened their hearts: both
commanded a fund of humour and imagination and possessed an
instinctive feeling for style: and both enjoyed an inner life which
was vivid, strong and exciting. David Cecil's subtle and
sympathetic study of two remarkable natures is a sustained piece of
exquisite scholarship which reads as engagingly now as it did when
first published in 1948.
