Text Appearing Before Image:
tsfrom his contemporaries. One of the most impressive was paid to him by the Authorof Ion, in the House of Commons, where a shrivelled soul was sceptical con-cerning poetical utilities.—He has supplied the noblest antidote to the freezingeffects of the scientific spirit of the age ; and, while he has done justice to the poetryof greatness, has cast a glory around the lowest conditions of humanity, and tracedout the subtle links by which they are connected with the highest. A kindred spirit — Felicia Hemans — laid this offering upon the shrine : — True bard and holy ! Thou art even as oneWho, by some secret gift of soul, or eye,In every spot beneath the smiling sun,Sees where the springs of living waters lie ! It is indeed impossible to exaggerate in praising the most eloquent and high-souled of all our British Poets—saving and excepting only one. His volumes will be — for ever and for ever — the text-books of those who love and reverence Nature,Virtue, and Eternal Truth.
Text Appearing After Image:
And she had made a Pipe of straw,And from that oaten Pipe could drawAll sounds of winds and floods ;Had built a Bower upon the green,As if she from her birth had beenAn Infant of the woods. W. B. Scott del. W. J, Linton sc. 315
