POETICAL.
INDIRECTION.
RICHARD EEALF.


Fair are the flowers and the children, but their
subtle suggestion Is fairer;
Rare Is the rose-burst of dawn, but the secret
that clasps it is rarer;
Sweet is the exutance OF song but the strain mat
preccdes il is sweeter
And never was poem yetwrit, but the meaning
outmastered the metre.
Never daisy that grows, but mystery guideth
Never river that flows, but majesty soeptrcs
tho flowing
Never Shakespeare that scared, but stronger
than he did enfold him;
Nor evera prophet foretells, but mishtier seer
hath foretold him.
Back Of the CANVAS that throbs the painter IS
hinted and hidden
Into the statue that breathes, the soul OF the
sculptor is hidden;
Under the joy that is iet lie the Infinite issues OF
feeling;
Growing the glory revealed is the glory that
crowns the revealing.
Great are the symbols Of being, bat that which Is
symboed is greater
Vast the create and beheld, but vasteF the inward
creator.
Back of the sound broods the silence, back oi tle
gift stands the giving
Back Of the hand that receives, thrill the sensitive
nerves Of rece living.
Space is rs nothing to spirit, tha d'ol isoutdone
by the doing;
The heart Of the wucer is warm, but warmer the
heart Of the wooing;
And up from the pits where there shiver, and up
from the heights where those shine,
Twin voices and shadows swim starward, aad the
essence of life Is divine.

Of the eloquent allress
81 have th1s triel to give you, fellow
soldiers Of the Army Of Northern Virginia,
an outline Of one of the most brilliant pages
Of our history Time has not permitted me
20 dwell on tie great deeds which crowded
these few months, or to characterize in fitting
terms Of panegyric the mighty actors IN them
have attempted nothing beyond simple aud
carefully accurate statement Of the facts
This may help to clear away from one cam
paign the daet aud mould which already
gather over the memories Of the great strug-
ole. Il may DO more. Il may, by touching
The electric chord Of association, transport us
for the time iuto the presence Of the majestic
dead, and Of the mighty drama, the acting Of
which was like another and a higher life, and
the contemplation Of which should tend to
strengthen, elevate, ennobe.
at is wise in our day, it is wise always
to recur 10 time when patriotism was a
passion when devotion TO great principles
dwarfed all considerations other than those Of
truth and right; when duty was felt to be the
subHmest wcrd In cur language; when sac
riice outweighed selfshness when human
virtue was equal to human calamity
