Diary entry, April 17, 1832: "Read the two last Olympic odes today, - except a few lines of the last but one. The very last, to the Graces, is most harmonious & beautiful. I recollect Mr. Boyd’s repeating it to me at Great Malvern in 1830, when I was paying him a long & happy visit. NYN D' OLWLE!! – Not the ode – which is deathless."
