As it stands now, this article has faults. It does not show Norris's influence on the Idealism of Arthur Collier, and possibly of George Berkeley. Also, there are subjective judgments made about his poetry, such as:

  • they have fine thoughts,
  • there are far-fetched metaphors and conceits,
  • they are not seldom dull and prosaic.
