ling and transparent too. The scales
which hid the ancients eyes have fallen
from our own; the Love their stronger
sense has uudisguised, and proved full
reflection Of ourself, 6gmeht without
form.
We hold it now an art not IN itself, but
as in us-as we essay to give it shape to
others, life-likeness by our vii, invention
and much borrowed lore. Indeed Love is
the highest art and he who makes it
seem, though for an hour should rank with
those who painted Paradise and drew
Utopia's sky.
Say what we may, we have regard for
Love although we know she died ere we
were born we like to stand beside her
sculptured irsges, and fancy warmth
upon her marble lips, and spirit-thrills
within her rigid arms. And though the
language which she spoke is lost, We strive
to counterfeit her tones, and lisp to Phil
lis kind and Daphne fair, the syllable tina
Poets tell were once her melody ant
mind. ....
| Man longs for that which never was
and grows attached to dreams dreamed oil
in pleasant hours. Love is a gaudy dream
la sweet.appearing falsity; and tia
man is Of Cynic school who would not bi
US long preserve that fair delusion Of on
lives which makes the dullest smile an
onty willing weep. JUNlUS.
