THE POWER OF LOVE.
Be our experience in particulars what it mav, no man ever forgot the visitations of that power to his heart and brain, which, created all things new; which was the dawn in him of music, poetry, and art, which made the face of nature radiant with purple light, the morning and the night varied enchantments when a single tone of one voice could make the heart beat, and the most trivial circumstance associated with one form is put in the of memory; when we became all eve when one'was present and all memory when
one is gone. . . The passion remakes the world for tne youth. It makes all things alive and significant. Every bird on the boughs of the trees sings now to his heart and Boul. Almost the notps are articulate. The clouds have faces as he looks on thera. The treeE of the forest, the waving grass and the peeping flowers have grown intelligent, and almost he fears to trust them with the secret which they seem to invite. The causes that have sharpened his perceptions of natural beauty have made him love music and verse. It is a fact often observed, that men have written good verses under the inspiration of passion, who cannot write well under any other impulse.
