Springing from ordinary events of the day, or a picture, or an aspect of the priestly life, Scott's beautifully restrained poems work up the detail into a moment of significance.

It evokes the delicate, intense qualifies of rural England. The pastoral nature of his daily work emerges in the later poems as a relish for detail, not trumpeted, but noticed for what it is worth.
