piercing all feeding and air of heaven that man shall never i tumble down again soon into my old and lead the life of as before and have lost my faith in the possibility of any guide who can lead me thither where i would be but leaving these victims of vanity let us with new hope observe how nature by impulses has the poet s fidelity to his office of announcement and namely by the beauty of things which becomes a new and higher beauty when expressed nature offers all her creatures to him as a picture language being used as a type a second wonderful value appears in the object far better than its old value as the carpenter s stretched cord if you hold your ear close enough is musical in the breeze things more excellent than every image says are expressed through images things admit of being used as because nature is a symbol in the whole and in every part every line we can draw in the sand has expression and there is no body without its spirit or genius all form is the poet an effect of character all condition of the of the life all harmony of health and for this reason a perception of beauty should be sympathetic or proper only to the good the beautiful rests on the foundations of the necessary the soul makes the body as the wise teaches � so every spirit as it is pure and hath in it the more of heavenly light so it the fairer body doth procure to habit in and it more fairly with cheerful grace and amiable sight for of the soul the body form doth take for soul is form and doth the body make here we find ourselves suddenly not in a critical speculation but in a holy place and should go very and reverently we stand before the secret of the world there where being passes into appearance and unity into variety the universe is the of the soul wherever the life is that bursts into appearance around it our science is and therefore superficial the earth and the heavenly bodies and we treat as if they were self k at i but these are the of that being we have the mighty heaven said in its clear images of the splendor of intellectual being moved in with the periods of intellectual natures therefore science always goes abreast with the just elevation of the man keeping step with religion and or the state of science is an index of our self knowledge since everything in nature answers to a moral if any phenomenon remains brute and dark it is that the corresponding faculty in the observer is not yet active no wonder then if these waters be so deep that we over them with a religious regard the beauty of the proves the importance of the sense to the poet and to all others or if you every man is so far a poet as to be susceptible of these of nature for all men have the thoughts whereof the universe is the i find that the fascination in the symbol who loves nature who does not is it only poets and men of leisure and cultivation who live with her no but also the poet hunters farmers and though they express their affection in their choice of life and not in their choice of words the writer wonders what the coachman or the hunter in riding in horses and dogs it is not superficial qualities when you talk with him he holds these at as a rate as you his worship is sympathetic he has no but he is commanded in nature by the living power which he feels to be there present no imitation or playing of these things would content him he loves the earnest of the of rain of stone and wood and iron a beauty not is dearer than a beauty which we can see to the end of it is nature the symbol nature the supernatural body by life which he with coarse but sincere rites the and mystery of this attachment drives men of every class to the use of the schools of poets and philosophers are not more with their than the with theirs in our political parties
