This shines through every line he wrote, whether on the puzzling sex life of the common toad who "salutes the coming of spring [and] after his long fast, has a very spiritual look, like a strict Anglo-Catholic towards the end of Lent," or on the "modern habit of some writers who describe lovemaking in detail. . .It is something that future generations will look back on as we do on things like the death of Little Nell."
