Hayne's work is even less important, for he did not, like Timrod and Lanier, touch an occasional height of inspired utterance.

Timrod, too, rose occasionally to noble utterance, but his voice is fainter and his talent more slender than Lanier's.

Henry Timrod and Paul Hayne, within a month of the same age, were seat-mates in school.

Henry Timrod was thrust into the literary life of Charleston at a time when that life was most full of impelling force.
