No . CCXCIX . . , , £ , -: JPerfect Allusion . Ant allusion pleases , by presenting a new and beautiful icnage to the mind . The analogy or the resemblance between this image and the principal subject is agreeable of itself , and is indeed necessary , to furnish
an apology for the transition wkich the writer makes ; but the pleasure is wonderfully heightened , . wiieu-tthe new image thus presented is a beautiful one ; The following allusion , ju one of Mr . Home ' s tragedies , appea ? r $ to me to unite almost every excellence :
¦ ' " Hope and fear , alternate , sway'd his breast ; " Like light and shade upon a waring field , , ** Coursing each other , "when the flyiogi clouds " Now hide , and now reveal , the sun , " , Here the analogy is remarkably
perfect ; not only between light and nope and between darkness and -fear f but between the rapid suecessiqr * © f light and shade and the momentary influences of these opposite emdtians ^ and , at the same time , the rifews image which is presented to w $ ,- i * one of tbe most beautiful and striking in nature , . . .
