essay the illustration of the storyof that strong heroic soul, which had also been well done by the English painter, ArthurHughes. Yet Mr. Garretts designs make a distinct addition to the work of the older men,and what stronger word could be said for them? His conception of Enoch after his return,is a fine one, — a grave, bearded face, strong, sad, patient, — and shows that the artist hasfully felt the power of the poem. To Tennysons Song of the Owl, Garrett contributed adelightful drawing of the merry milkmaid on her high pattens; and to the Ballad ofOriana several striking pictures, one showing the hapless lady lying prone upon the battle-ments with the fatal arrow in her breast, and another, the vision of his slain mistressappearing to the wretched lover — O breaking heart that will not break, Oriana !O pale, pale face so sweet and meek, Oriana!Thou smilest, but thou dost not speak,And then the tears run down my cheek, Oriana:What wantest thou ? whom dost thou seek, Oriana ?
