A contemporary critic, speaking of the superiority of Campbell’s minor effusions, when compared with his larger efforts, observes, “His genius, like the beautiful rays of light that illumine our atmosphere, genial and delightful as they are when expanded, are yet without power in producing any active or immediate effect.  In their natural expansions they sparkle to be sure, and sweetly shine; but it is only when condensed, and brought to bear upon a limited space or solitary object, that they acquire the power to melt, to burn, or to communicate their fire to the object they are in contact with.”  Another writer says, “In common with every lover of poetry, we regret that his works are so few; though, when a man has written enough to achieve immortality, he cannot be said to have trifled away his life.  Mr. Campbell’s poetry will find its way wherever the English language shall be spoken, and will be admired wherever it is known.”
