Oh,ii immortal eeniuses,


 Pamer, teacher of the poets of all epochs. of those souls, sublime and beautiful, which felt towards God so handsome aspirations. for even in the bosom of the organism poesy, the sublime poetry, was always cry of the soul looking out for God. Plato. he was who said: What is required to see God. To be pure and to die-And this other phrase more divine if possible:-To phiIosophize is to learn to die. Cicero. :. who middlemost of the his spirits vacilIa- tions conserved so living the feeling of the divinity and to it consecrated a majestically fair language. Pytha- goras who with fasting and sill ence prepared himself to hear better the spheres harmony. Seneca ..... whose name would be so grand if his life had corresponded to his doc Urine; but all, all of them snatched by the same passion far beyond visible in the contemplation of the in finity. But how to be able to feel this Plato's thought which is the resume of the whole philosophy? Man was made to the truth; yet is it necessary a God descending to teach it to him. Divine presentiment is all this phrase GOu Has dlT0duy COIIS QOWh stiih taught it in the cusp of the Calvary from the cathedra of the Cross If anew Plato would speak, he could say that his wanted truth is already written in the mystical pages of the seraphic doctor St. John of the Cross Such it is the human intel lcct. It animates itself in the inf nity: and it has not it's force, it's greatness, it's brightness, it's fair ness, it's poesy, nor even its reason, unless according as more completely is moved in the infinity.
 In the books of St. John of the Cross displays the eloquence all it's power, and by the very nature or the subject elevates itself to regions of the highest poesy. Thus confirms it the immortal MenendeZ Pelayo. The prose of St. John of the Cross is admirable and his verses un- occasionally the best to all we have in castihian anguage.-(Heterodo vol. 2, D. 5S3) Excels with Granada, Luis de Leon, Teresa de Jesus, Es- tela Zarate; all sacred or ascetlc writers who lifted up the castilian prose to the highest degree of spien- dour, says Coll y Vehi-elem. .of literature, D. 496. And here is the secret of the great composers where is found their delicate en- chantment. They compel to thlnk' oblige to dream. An idea is seen not capable to be contained in thelr words; that can not be contalneu there; which comes from very itlSn and is excessive great; Wnlcn HIS up the terms and overflows ltseH' that rather allows to be felt thah seen. Under their apparent poverty under their formulas, so narrow al times, the infinity is concealed. Ihey say very much; but let perceive much more. Wonderful language formed for the souls by God regaled with the gifts of the finite and infinite.
 An incongruous criticism will have been able to figure itself in some passage of our models of literature, to see in them some slovenliness, lack of harmony and certain man nerisms. But,. is not the sublime quality of the thought and of the objects; the noble elevation of spirit towards infinity that compromises with simplicity, with vehemence, with terseness, with brevity and with phrase asperity also? or as Longinos says-"it is the sound of the greate souIs". Let them be read, yes, but not to judge them except after hay ing acutely studied them and looked over rhetoric again. and, certainly, even if some blemishes Smay appear and notes the reader that, more than once names The great Homer-and becomes he indignant, surely will he pardon them to him and say with the preceptor of the Pisones in his latin verses: Verum ubi plura intent in carmina- non ego paucis offendar maculis. ....v. 351-353.
