BYRON.

His dominion over the darker passions
IS one of the most obvious features in his
poetic character. He rode in a chariot
drawn, if we may use the figure, by those
horses described IN the visions of the
Apocalypse, whose heads were as the
heads of lions, and out of their mouths
issued fire, smoke, and brimstone.' And
supreme III his management of these
dreadful coursers. Wherever human ma
ture Is fercest and wherever
iurnace-bOsems have been heated seven
times hotter by the unrestrained passions
and the torrld suns of the east and the
south-wherever man verges toward the
animal or the fend-wherever nissan
thropes have folded their arms, and taken
their desperate atIlude-Wherever stands
the bed of sin, delirious with its dread
wherever dCvours 'the worm that can
not sleep, and never dies'-there the mel
ancholy muse of Byron finds its subjects
and It's haunts. Driven from a home in
his country, he seeks in the mansions OF
all unhappy hearts. which open gIoomily,
and admit him as their tenant and their
bard.
TO escape from ones self is the desire
of many, Of all The miserable-lhe desire
of the arunkard, of the opium eater, OF
those who plunge into the vortex of any
dissipation, who indulge in any delicious
dream; but it is the singularity of Byron
that he uniformly escapes from himself
into something worse and more miserable
His being transmigrates into darker ant

will sum up in a few sentences, our i'm
pressions of his general character He is
gifted, but not great man. He is rhet-
orlcian, without being an orator. He is
endowed with great powers of perception
and acquisition. but with no power of orr
gination. He has deep sympathies with
genius. without possessing genius of
! high order himself He is strong and
broad, but not subtle or profound. lie is
not more destitute of original genius than
he is of high principle and purpose. He

gree his own mind, without leading the
minds of others one point farther than 10
the admiration of himself and of his idols,
seems, after all. to have been the main OBJ
ject of his ambition, and has already been
nearly satisfied. lie has played the finite
game of talent, and not the infinite game
of genius. His goal has been the Top OF
the mountain, and not the blue profound
beyond; and on the point he has sought
he may speedily be seen. relieved against
the heights which he cannot reach--a
marble fixture, exalted and molionless.

But the best Of all in Hood is that

BELMER.


Ii III Bulwer's writings we weary less
than in otheIs, il is owing to the artistic
skill with which he intermingIes his points
of humor with those of seutentious rellec-
ton or vivid narrative. All is point, but
the point perpetually varies from gay to
grave. from lively to severe; including in
it railery and reasoning, light dialogue
and earnest discussion, bursts of political
feeling and raptures Of poetical descrip-
lion; here Il sarcasm almost worthy of
Voltalre, and there passage of pensiye
grandeur, which Rosseau might have
written in his tears. TO keep up this
perpetual play of varied excellence, re-
quires at once great vigor and great YER
satility of talents for Bulwer never walks
through his part, never proses, is never
tame, and seldom indeed substitutes sound
for sense, or mere hummery for force and
fire. He generally writes his best, and
one great fault. indeed with HIM is, that
he is too uniformly erect in slirrups, too
conscious OF himself, of his exquisite
management, of his complete equipment,
of the speed with which he devours the
dust: and seldom exhibits the careless
grandeur of one who is riding at the pace
of the whirlwind, with perfect se!t-obIivi-
on, aud with perfect security.
