and later on he thought that Collier him
self ought to commend the Constant
Couple" But this is the only trace of
literary bias. In other respects Hopkins
is interested in nothing more serious than
a lock of Amasia's hair, the china cup she
had round the sides of which were painted
trees, and at the bottom a Naked Woman
Weeping" her box of patches, in which
she finds silver penny, or the needle
work embroidered on her gown. When
Amasia died there was no reason why
Sylvius should continue to exist, and he
fades out of our vision like ghost.
