What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "What is there in Dryden? Much, but above all this: he is the most masculine of our poets; his style and his rhythms lay the strongest stress of all our literature on the naked thew and sinew of the English language." in the context of "Gerard Manley Hopkins, letter to Robert Bridges (6 November 1887)" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
