George Darley

The title of Errors of Ecstasie (1822) by George Darley

George Darley (1795–1846) was an Irish poet, novelist, literary critic, and author of mathematical texts. Friends with such literary luminaries as Charles Lamb, Thomas Carlyle, and John Clare,[1] he was considered by some to be on a level with Tennyson in “poetic possibilities” in the 1840s,[2] but in the words of famous literary critic George Saintsbury “he had the marks of a talent that never did what it had it in it to do.”[3]
