ll.waroaaN POETRY. —But even if ho had been
full of poetic speech, he would yet have found that the
half of his posy remained unothered, for although we
have speech enough now to be " cousin to the deed as
Chaucer says it must always be, we have not yet enough
speech to be even cousin to the tenth part of our feelings.
Let him who doubts recall one of his own vain attempts to
convey that which made the oddest of dreams entrancing
in loveliness—to convey that aroma of thought, the con-
scious absence of which made him a fool in his own eyes
when he spoke such silly words as alone presented them-
selves for the service. I c►n no more describe the emotion
aroused in my mind by a grey cloud parting over a grey
stone, by the smell of a sweet-pea, by the sight of one of
thole long upright pennonsof striped grass with the homely
mine, than I ean tell what the glory of God is who made
these things. The man whose poetry is like nature in
this, that rt produces individual, incommuMeable moods
and aniffitions of mind—a sense of elevated, tender, mar-
vellous, and evaneeeent existence, must be • poet. Every
deem of such a feeling is a light-brushed bubble rendering
visible for a moment the dark unknown sea of our being
which lies beyond the light. of our consciousness, and is
the stuff and the region of our eternal growth. But think
what language must become before it will tell dreams !
before it will convey the delicate shades of fancy that
come and go in the brain of a child !—before it will let a
man know wherein one face differed from another face in
glory !—.Argosy for May.
