The wit of Curran was spontane-

mind overcharged with imagery
and feeling. In this it differed from
the wit Of another great Irishman.
Sheridan had more Of the actor a.

Perhaps no foreigner, who has
visited England, has had better op-
portnnity Of seeing distinguished men
than Madame dc Stael. She was
constantly surrounded by the most
brilliant society Of London. Yet even
in that blaze of genius, she was most
struck, as she often told her friends,
with tho conversational powers Of
Curran. This, too, was in 1918. when
his health had sunk, and his spirits
were so depressed as to make it an
effort to support his part at oil in soci.
ETY..
From the vivacity oflis conversation
one would hardly have suspected the
depth and seriousness of his charac-
ter. In talking with ladies', or with
young persons, his mind was remark.
able for its constant playfulncss. A
gleam of sunshine illumined his whole
being. Yet those who knew him in.
timately were aware that he was
subject all his life to constitutional
melancholy. Like many other men
celebrated for their wit, his gaicty
alternatcd with deep depression.
The truth was, that he sympathized
too intensely with the scenes of real
life to be uniformly gay. In his
country he saw 80 much to sadden
him, that his feelings took q melan.
choly tone. The transition was often
instantaneous from humor to pathos.
His friends, who saw him in his light
er moods, were surprised at the sud.

these things he remained q child to
the end Of his days; while In sensi.
bility to tears he had the heart Of O

life, he kept his affections fresh and
flowing.
He had the delicate organization
Of genius. His frame vibrated to
music like an Eolian harp. He had
the most exquisite relish for the beau
ties of poetry. He was extravaganza
ly fond Of works ofimagination. He
dcvonred romances. And when in
his reading he met with passage
which gratified his taste, he was new
or weary of repeating it to himself,
or reading it to the friends who came
to see him.
In conversation, perhaps the most
prominent faculty Of his mind was
fancy-sportivc, playful, tender, and
pathetic. His conversation was q
stream which never ceased to flow.
His brilliant imagination, and the
warmth with which he entered into
everything, gave it peculiar fascin-
alton. Byron said that Curran had
spoken more poetry than any man
