England. The method which has been usually adopted, namely, to present some principal event in the story, with its circumstances of scenery, c. has, perhaps, its advantages. It embodies and makes plain to the eye the otherwise evanescent creations of the poet; it throws the colours of reality upon his fictions; it gives them a shape and substance ;and makes them live more clearly in the recollection of the reader. But, after all, such shapes and colours are the fictions of the painter, and not of the poet. They are shadows of a shade. The fashion of the original idea may in some measure remain, but it is almost invariably attenuated and impoverished. It is too fine or too palpable, too ideal or too vulgar. The sketch of the painter never agrees entirely with our previous conception ;and so far as it disagrees, it erases and does injury to the original impression. We adopt henceforth another mans idea, which is neither the poets nor our own.
