In his strictly secular pieces Calderon has succeeded rather by virtue of his lyrism, which is undoubtedly of transcedent quality, than because of any considerable dramatic ingenuity of his own. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
The “lyrism” of these songs seems more considered. ❋ Lu (2009)
Nor can he equal the sublime lyrism of his model; but he is little inferior in poetic conception, in dignified idealization, and in picturesque imagery. ❋ Various (N/A)
Calderón defies rivalry: his intense devotion, his subtle intelligence, his sublime lyrism all combine to produce such marvels of allegorical poetry as ❋ Various (N/A)
The lyrism of the evening was in the cellar at present, and was not to be drawn from that retreat just yet .... ❋ Asa Don Dickinson (1918)
It is to be observed, none the less, that he is a great lyric poet, and that his lyrism saturates his dramatic compositions from first to last. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
Hardly any kind of Hebrew poesy is absent; epithalamia and lamentations; little satirical songs; odes of wonderful lyrism etc. The fundamental law of Hebrew poetry, the parallelism of the stichs, is usually observed. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
