"Those evening bells! those evening bells! How many a tale their music tells!" -Thomas Moore

Thomas Moore was closely attuned to the taste and artistic sensibility of his age, but he is remembered now primarily by the Irish, who still sing his songs and claim him as their own. He was a born lyricist and a natural musician, a practiced satirist and one of the first recognized champions of freedom of Ireland. With George Gordon, Lord Byron, and Sir Walter Scott, he embodied British Romanticism not only for the British and the Irish but also for Americans and Europeans. 

William Hazlitt, who had a knack for penetrating mere literary fashion, described Moore's verse in The Spirit of the Age (1825) as "a shower of beauty; a dance of imagery; a stream of music; ... this continuous and incessant flow of voluptuous thoughts and shining allusions," but he qualified his praise by noting that Moore "is willing to be tawdry, or artificial, or common-place.... [His poetry] seduces the taste and enervates the imagination" with "a play of fancy, a glitter of words, a shallowness of thought, and a want of truth and solidity...." Moore possessed talent, not genius, and recognizing the difference, he worked hard to compensate for his deficiencies by the sheer bulk and unquestioned variety of his work.
