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. iaL&i?2» t 3iT’3'3i3z 9 i?;32sra;Bis» 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°.
