text_original: A style of speech that would have made a discourse upon Greek poetry seem arid and a dissertation upon Italian painting colorless  if it were possible to conceive Grenville as wasting time or thought on such trifles  added no grace to the exposition of a fiscal measure or charm to the formality of a phalanx of figures. He was gloomy, dogged, domineering, and small minded.
