Gilbert West
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Biographia Literaria (1817); ed. Engell and Bate (1983) 1:24.
The poems of WEST indeed had the merit of chaste and manly diction, but they were cold, and if I may so express it, only dead-coloured; while in the best of Warton's there is a stiffness, which too often gives them the appearance of imitations from the Greek.
