Explanation: Oh the excellent creature! She is as inimitable to all women, as she is inaccessible to all men.

Answer: This is part of Sir Roger de Coverley’s long speech derived from the ironical essay “His Account of His Disappointment” in Love” composed by Richard Steele. Here Sir Roger expresses his astonishment in order to portray the uniqueness and the complex nature of the perverse widow whom he loves. He said it when he was walking with his friend, Mr. Spectator.

Sir Roger de Covertey loves a young beautiful widow whom he calls “perverse”. He loves her very much. He describes her that a widow who has great personal chars and captivating manners. All are fascinated by her. All men who see her at a glance begin to like her. Because she is incomparable to all women. She can talk well and logically. She is an educated and accomplished woman. But in the eyes of Sir Roger, the widow is a flirt who rejoices in the love of all men. Whereas she does not reciprocate that love. She is hard-hearted. She denies the love of all men. Even if Sir Roger is rejected by her. As a result, he keeps himself a lifelong bachelor and becomes eccentric. So he regards her as incomparable to all women and unattainable to all men. And here lies the cause of his surprise.

The essayist has thrown light on the characters of Sir Roger de Coverley and the perverse widow. There is a satirical and ironic touch in the speaker in this statement.
