"That thou, O my Brother, impart to me truly how it stands with thee in that inner man of thine; what lively images of things past thy memory has painted there; what hopes, what thoughts, affections, knowledge, do now dwell there. For this, and no other object that I can see, was the gift of hearing and speech bestowed on us two." - ТноMAS CARLYLE.

BY PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY.

EDITED BY MRS. SHELLEY.

"The Poet, it is true, is the son of his time; but pity for him if he is its pupil, or even its favourite! Let
some beneficent deity snatch him when a suckling from the breast of his mother, and nurse him with the milk of a
better time; that he may ripen to his full stature beneath a distant Grecian sky. And having grown to manhood,
let him return, a foreign shape, into his century; not however to delight it by his presence, but dreadful like the
son of Agamemnon, to purify it."-SCHILLER.
