Excerpt from Froissart in Britain

The portraits are more finished works: much time goes to the making of some of them, and in the end we feel that we Should recognise the origi nals at first sight, if we Could meet with them, and even their voices would sound familiar in our ears. What a breathing likeness is that of the old warrior Thomas of Gloucester: the vehemence and flush of life itself is there, caught as he is pouring out his rebellious indignation with little care for the dan gers or the decency of courts: I swear by God if Imay live two year in good health the war shall be renewed: and then he turns and rends his un martial and luxurious nephew, King Richard, his eyes be too heavy, he careth for nothing but for meat and drink, and rest, and dallying with ladies and damosels: this is no life for men of war, that will deserve to have honour. Again and again in this tremendous harangue we all but hear the deep.
