Southey's mind was giving way when he wrote a last letter to his friend Landor in 1839, but he continued to mention Landor's name when generally incapable of mentioning any one.

Another contemporary poet who does not fit into the Romantic group was Walter Savage Landor.

Walter Savage Landor ( 30 January 1775 – 17 September 1864 ) was an English writer and poet.

And yet Landor was described as “ the kindest and gentlest of men ”.

Walter Savage Landor was born in Warwick, England, the eldest son of Dr Walter Landor, a physician, and his second wife, Elizabeth Savage.

Landor as the eldest son was heir to these properties and looked forward to a life of prosperity.

Years later, Landor included references to James in Latin in Simonidea with a mixture of praise and criticism and was subsequently reconciled with him.

Landor was reconciled with his family through the efforts of his friend Dorothea Lyttelton.

It was at Swansea that he became friendly with the family of Lord Aylmer, including his sister, Rose, whom Landor later immortalized in the poem, " Rose Aylmer ".

Gifford, on the other hand, who was ever a harsh critic of Landor described it as A jumble of incomprehensible trash ... the most vile and despicable effusion of a mad and muddy brain ....

In 1802 Landor went to Paris where he saw Napoleon at close quarters, and this was enough to put him off the idea of French republicanism.

About the same time Landor published the whole poem in Latin, which did little to increase readership but appealed to Parr was considered by Swinburne to be comparable with the English version in might and melody of line, and for power and perfection of language.

He also wrote a work " The Dun Cow " which was written in defence of his friend Parr who had been attacked in an anonymous work " Guy's Porridge Pot ", which Landor was fierce to deny was any work of his.

The previous owner had erected some buildings in the ruins of the ancient abbey, but an Act of Parliament, passed in 1809, was needed to allow Landor to pull down these buildings and construct a house, ( which was never finished ).

However the idyll was not to last long as for the next three years Landor was worried by the combined vexation of neighbours and tenants, lawyers and lords-lieutenant and even the Bishop of St David's, while at the same time he tried to publish an article on Fox, a response to a sycophantic piece by John Bernard Trotter, which was condemned by the prospective publisher John Murray as libellous and damned by Canning and Gifford.

Even here he had troubles for at the time Caroline of Brunswick, wife of the Prince Regent was living there and Landor was suspected of being an agent involved in watching her in case of divorce proceedings.

In 1808 he became acquainted with Walter Savage Landor, whose early work he had admired, and the two developed mutual admiration of each other's work and became close friends.

One piece referred to George IV whose treatment of Caroline of Brunswick had been distasteful to Landor.

Instead, it is taken from the medieval city of Zaidan, whose ruins stretch for miles on both banks of the lower Helmand river near its inland delta in Iranian Sistan ( see, Henry Savage Landor, Across Coveted Lands, London 1902, chapter XXI ).

Many famous people are buried in the graveyard: Elizabeth Barrett Browning ( in a tomb designed by Frederic, Lord Leighton ), Walter Savage Landor, Arthur Hugh Clough, Fanny Trollope and her daughter-in-law Theodosia Garrow Trollope and three other family members, Isa Blagden, Southwood Smith, Hiram Powers, Joel Tanner Hart, Theodore Parker, Fanny, the wife of William Holman Hunt in a tomb he himself sculpted, Mary, the daughter of John Roddam Spencer Stanhope in a tomb he himself sculpted, Louise, sister to Henry Adams, whose dying he describes in his ' Chaos ' chapter in The Education of Henry Adams, two children of the Greek painter George Mignaty, whom Robert had paint Casa Guidi as it was when Elizabeth Barrett Browning died there, and Nadezhda De Santis, a black Nubian slave brought to Florence at fourteen from Jean-François Champollion's 1827 expedition to Egypt and Nubia, while the French Royalist exile Félicie de Fauveau sculpted two tombs here.

In his poem " Past Ruin'd Ilion ", English writer and poet Walter Savage Landor ( 1775-1864 ) wrote the line " Alcestis rises from the shades " as having a double meaning, evoking her rise from Hades while demonstrating the ability of enduring poetry to give her vitality, drawing her into the light from the shadows of historical oblivion.

Landor wrote much sensitive and beautiful poetry.

Forster objected to the inclusion of some Latin poetry, and so Landor published his most important Latin work ` Poemata et Inscriptiones ' separately in 1847.

It obtained immediate recognition, making Forster a prominent figure in a distinguished circle of literary men which included Leigh Hunt, Edward Bulwer-Lytton, Thomas Noon Talfourd, Albany Fonblanque, Walter Savage Landor, Robert Browning, Thomas Carlyle and Charles Dickens.

Parr introduced Landor to Robert Adair, party organiser for Charles James Fox, who enlisted Landor to write in The Morning Post and The Courier against the ministry of Pitt.

He lavished sympathetic praise on the noble dramatic works of his brother Robert Eyres Landor.

He became friends with the classics scholar Dr Samuel Parr who lived at Hatton near Warwick and who appreciated Landor as a person and a Latin writer.

Also in 1836, Landor met John Forster who became his biographer, having become friends after Forster's review of his " Shakespeare ".

Landor received a visit from his son Arnold in 1842 and in that year wrote a long essay on Catullus for Forster who was editor of " Foreign Quarterly Review " and followed it up with The Idylls of Theocritus.

Later, his Villa Gherardesca in Fiesole would become the home of the American Icelandic scholar Daniel Willard Fiske, who renamed it the ' Villa Landor '.
