Poets Wall "The engraved portraits of Bysshe, which have hitherto been published, are frightful pictures for a
spiritual-looking being, like the poet. Yet I do not expect that my ideal will ever be created, because he must have
altered from boy to man. His forehead was white, the eyes deep blue,—darker than John's. He had an eccentric
quantity of hair, in those days, when he came by stealth to Field Place; and Elizabeth, on one occasion, made him
sit down to have it cut, and be made to look like a Christian." from
