POETRY.
From the Metropolitan Magazine.
SOLITUDE.
In early youth I shunned mankind,
From books alone to store my mind:
In woods, and ruins moss o’er grown,
I sat, and read, and thought alone.
An impulse did I feel, a flame, —
I never questioned whence it came :
A feeling powerful as unknown,
That urged me still to be alone.
I clomb the mountain, through the cloud,
Midst lightnings, and the thunders loud ;
Thence looked around as from a throne,
And triumphed I was there alone.
At midnight, deep in torrent caves,
1 listened to the dash of waves,
Down horrid chasms darkly thrown,
And felt an awful joy alone.
The earliest flush the morning gave,
Soft trembling o’er the ocean-wave,
Thence, crimson’d, through the darkness blown,
Midst flying mists, I met alone.
Ever in darkness and in light,
At cheerful noon, at pitchy night,
Around me, like an Iris thrown
Was joy, that I still walked alone.
In sleep was heard the sound of streams,
The sun-set mingled with my dreams;
The weltering ocean had the tone,
Which lives in slumbering ears alone.
With passing years a change there came,
Though Nature’s charms were still the same:
No more that impulse strong might speed
My steps to mountain or to mead
The wood, the stream, the rock, the tree,
The bud, the blossom, bird and bee,
Still were —but were no more desired —
My mind into itself retired.
My soul was full of Nature’s light;
In vain the morn was dewy, bright;
Fn vain to win my g a ze, did eve
Its long and lingering shadows weave.
For, with an overflowing mind,
I turned from Nature to my kind :
From all things was the freshness flown —
I could not bear to be alone.
Richard llowitt.

MISCELLANEOUS.
From Blackwood’s Magazine.
CRYSTALS FROM A CAVERN.
1.
The Inner light of rhetoric has often a simi
lar effiict to that of moonshine in the tropics.
It strikes those blind who doze under theefllu
encc. A crowd convulsed by the language of
a political or religious fanatic is, for the time,
moonstruck. But dreamer, indeed, would he
be who should suppose the source of the mis
chief to be, like Ariosto’s moon, the store
house, of all the lost wits of the sufferers.
2.
Every man employs, for a large part of
every day, a mechanism far more wonderful
than the engine of Watt or Babbage ; and an
additional wonder is, that few know they use
so sublime an instrument, though it is worked
by distinct acts of his own thoughts and will.
What is it ?—Language. By this we build j
pyramids, fight battles, ordain and administer
laws, shape and teach religion,are knitted man
to man, cultivate each other, and ourselves.
How vast is our self-glorification for the art of
writing: how infinite for the smaller art of
printing; how silent nnd null for that o!‘
s[>ecch! Our noblest gifts are too apparently
invaluable and divine to be referred as matter
of praise to ourselves, and therefore, we do
not think of them at all, but take them for
granted as a portion of ourselves. Yet, are
not even we ourselves given to us by a power
higher than we ?
3.
Mankind moves onward through the night
of time like a procession of torch-bearcrs, and
words are the lights which the generations car
ry. By means of these they kindle abiding
lamps beside tire track which they have pas
sed ; and in the hands of the sage and pro
phetic leaders of the train, these shoot forward
a column of light into the darkness before them.
The darkness, indeed, is still great, but it is
much that by means of the light which con
trasts with it, we know it to be darkness.
4.
A man once said, with an air of much self
complacency, I believe only what is proved.
Another answered, you seem to think this a
merit; yet, what does it mean but that you
Irelievc only what you cannot help believing?
That which it is important to believe, is that
which we need not believe, unless we will to
do so. The ancient oracles often deceived
men to believe that which it was a duty to dis
believe. There arc modern ones which seek
to better the instruction by changing it into
the exact converse. On all sides mingle and
help each other’s discord, the thin whines and
harsh grunts of a faithless necessity. On all
sides yawns before us the grim and stupid
falsehood, —-the will has nothing to do with the
belief.
5.
The prose man knows nothing of poetry,
but poetry knows much of him, nay, all that
he knows not of himself; and how much is
that! as well as all that he does know, which,
indeed, is little.
6.
There is a kind of Catholicism of opinion
which honors truth in the same way as he
who marries many contemporaneous wives
honors marriage, or as the man honors prop
erty who appropriates as much as possible of
his neighbors.
' 7.
The harmony and correlation of nature as a
whole, arc far more perfect than in any repro
duction of a part of it by art. But because art
cannot represent the great whole except typi
cally, it has, as its peculiar function, to unite
and round into a minor whole such fragments
as it can grasp. If it created only a literal
copy, its work would he not a whole, hut still
fragmentary. He, therefore, who would sub
stitute a literal copy for a true work of art,
manifestly wants the sense of that in his origi
nal which art most looks to and draws life
from, namely, the peaceful and musical unity
which pervades it, and blends together all its
portions, in one great image, the outward sym
bol of one God.
8.
A picture-gallery full of spectators, is an ex
ccllcnt image of the relation of art and reality.
The unmoving unblemished faces, and more
than living accuracy of forms, the fine inter
woven lines and fixed harmonizing colors are
all fitted in each picture to some single end.
They are bounded by the definite purpose of;
the whole, which shuts up each composition as !
a distinct world. The thought cannot grow
upon the canvas from spring to summer, or
from year to year. It detains us within its
own limits, excluding all the universe beyond.
It is unchangeable, indeed, hut finite, irreccp
tive of aught from without, unconscious of
aught within, and unproductive. While the
beholders look and move before the high,
glowing, many-colored ideals, one recognises
i with sparkling eves, some vivid reproNystcfion
of that which he lias himself'Sb.served ,in na
ture; another is delighted and satisfied bv t! e
[grace and roundness of the group wloCli re
veals some ancient story ; a third is lifted 1 p
and inspired by the sight of beauty.beyond all
that experience knows of, and owns the pres
ence of a majestic imagination. But of their
own faces no one, to a keen eye, is free from
grievous defects and offences, or has the per
fectly serene and living expression which all
may be led to conceive, though none have
seen it. There is weakness, meanness, ran.
1 Cor, ugliness, more or lessyisibl* in every -as.
poet. The compositions which these real
figures form with each other, are brwken and
harsh, crowded or vacant, confused and unde
fined, not centralised by any distinct purpose,
let, on the other hand, every one of these be
ings has a life which grows without cwssasion ;
stands not in one fixed visible site, hut in a
thousand shifting and involved relations; is
hemmed in by no wooden frame, nor magic
circle of an artist’s single conception ; but lias
an infinite around if, and works and shapes it
self therein, by a destiny that assigns to it no
point beyond which it shall not pass.
9.
Emotion turning back on itself, and not
leading on to thought or action, is the clement
of madness.
10.
Goethe sometimes reminds us of a Titan in
a court dress. But the Titan is the reality,
the clothing only the fleeting appearance. To
bis greatness nothing was wanting but the
sense how far finite greatness, even such as
his, is still below infinity; how much weaker
is the strongest independence 6f an earthly
spirit than the de|iendence upheld by who
alone can abide forever, unsubdued, yet peace
ful. lie was the shaping central figure of a
world of light and graceful images, a lovely
Greek Olympus. But over the smooth and
bland aspects, of bis marble and ivory works,
deep shadows and startling lights arc thrown
from the larger and more earnest sphere of the
infinite, the personal,—in a word—the Chris
tian, which encircles like sky and ocean, with
huger proportions nnd immense vistas, his
calmer, smaller dominion. These glimpses
too, and gigantic shadows of immortal ideas,
lid endeavored to unito l>y ooft connexions
with his own peculiar forms, and to invest them
with the like serene and rounded beauty'. But
the element was too vital insurgent, and for ev
er started away beneath bis hand, or burst off*
in fierce discord from the easier and more pli
ant material of his art. Hence the inconsist
ency and painful jarring which not seldom mo
lest us in the midst of his quietest and most
seductive creations.
11.
There are persons not merely indifferent to
knowledge, but who positively dislike it, be
cause it [nits them out in the rotary repetition
of their ignorance.
12.
One of the commonest of all delusions is
that which leads us to weigh men against each
other, and not by an absolute standard. The
practical application of this error leads to an
immoderate admiration of men of great ener
gies ill applied, and to a corresponding con
tempt for the weaker and narrower minds
which have done all the best in their power
with the portion of life and activity intrusted
to them. We often estimate the man of a.
bounding and busy faculties, by considering,
not how far he has faithfully employed his
whole being for high and pure ends, but what
overbalance of right and arduous endeavors
remains, after deducting all that is base, idle,
and self-willed. And this overbalance may
easily be so important as to cast altogether in.
to shade the utmost and entire labors of lesser
minds, though these may, nevertheless, have
wrought with perfect singleness of aim and
unwearied self-devotion. Glory to tlie selfish
rich man’s gorgeous offering is still theory of
the world’s orators, too often even of those
most nobly gifted. Glor}' to the widows’ mite,
is that still sweet inward song of tlie true heart
taught in endless harmonies issuing from the
face of God.
13.
llow often is to execute a thought, the same
thing as to execute a man, that is, to put an
end to it.
14.
Philosophy is a Hermes, the messenger of
the Gods! who leads up some to those trans
parent and everlasting abodes, and otheis
down to the land of shadows and unrealities,
and, therefore, ot suffering. He sometimes
plays divine music, and is seated hard by Ju.
piier himself, who listens joyous ; at other mo.
I ments he is a swindler, liar and thief, among
J the stalls and styes of earth.
15.
It is worthy only of a Turk to saw down
the statute of the Uranian Venus, into blocks
1 that may serve as steps to a harem, and to ex-
NO. 3°.
