T ought to occasion no surprise, that modern poets have rarely succeeded in the attempt to please or to interest, when jects of present political concern have been their theme. dom, very seldom are the feelings awakened by public events, nature to blend with the emotions of taste, or to admit that pleasing exaggeration which it is the business of the to produce. The poet himself, in venturing upon a political ne, finds it difficult to exercise the power of abstraction ciently to enable him to select and combine the appropriate erials for poetry, and still more difficult to carry the enjasm of a cultivated mind into subjects, the familiar details which are often mean, painful, or disgusting. he time was, when the wreath of the victor was entwined he hand of the bard; and when the poet alternately wielded Sword, and recited in rude melody the songs of heroes., those times are gone by, we trust for ever. ve that the poet exists, who could succeed in making war, We do not present event, interesting to the imagination. As to deeds ther times,-battles fought before the invention of gunler,-wars which have left us no legacy of taxes,-the ens and the griefs of which we have never had to feel; se it is very possible to render poetical enough; and by Sympathy with which genuine poetry inspires us, we may far transported in imagination to those times, as to adopt e moment the characteristic feelings of its heroes and ors. But stronger sympathies than those awakened by et, connect us with present events, and they are such as de the indulgence of the fancy in scenes of modern war. 1. VI, N. S. B |
