what is good and beautiful in his native country ? For there are good as well as bad Squires in England ; men of high and generous
temperaments ; women almost worthy to be angels . We should be delihted to see the sunshine of Mr . Kingsley ' s imagination
overflow g his verse . —What things cannot the poets produce for us ! Not only is the Present reflected by them , but they shadow forth
the Future , with its miracles and changes ; and more than all is their dominion over the Past . Throughout that wonderful region , -where
ill and good are mingled and seen together , the one softened by distance , the other still retaining a portion of its brightness ; where
" The splendor of the grass , the glory of the flower " survive the fading of the seasons ; where nothing is transient , nothing
eminently painful , —there the poet is sole king , sole master . Into that abundant country let him travel , and gather the fruits and
flowers , the corn and wine and oil , tha , t are to be found there . If they ield not leasure or profit to himself , they will at least
enable him y to scatter p his bounties on the grateful multitudes that
will everywhere throng within the circle of his power .
