Speaking of the poets, he said: "A poet whom I admired very much in college, and have always admired as a poet, though there was much Tn the life of the man, and some things in hIs writings, which are by no means to be commended, was Shelley Then the poet on which the best sub- sequent poetry has been built, the true master of Tennyson, man of the rich est fancy and most exquisite diction- John Keats; I beg you to learn by ear his Hyperion, his ode on a Grecian Urn and Ode to a Nightingale You may be surprised at the name 1 shall select from your American poets when ] tell you to learn Bryant. do not say Longfellow, because, although he IS sweet, and noble, and delightful poet, he is not American-I mean that his poetry mIght just as well have been written in England, or Italy, or Ger many, or France, as in America; but NIT. Bryant's poetry is full of the character istics of his own country, as well as noble, natural and invigoratinC."
