"Those old French ways of verse making that have been coming into fashion of late. Surely they say a pretty thing m re prettily for their quaint old-fashioned liberty! That TRIOLET -how deliciously im ertinent it is! is it not?... The variety of dainty modes wherein by shape and sound a very pretty something is carved out of nothing at all. Their fantastic surprises, the ring of their bell-like returns upon themselves, their music of triangle and cymbal. In some of them poetry seems to approach the nearest possible to bird-song-to unconscious seeming through most unconscious art, imitating the carelessness and impromptu of forms as old as the existence of birds, and as new as every fresh individual joy in each new generation, growing their own feathers, and singing their own song, yet always the feathers of their kind, and the song of their kind.” "Home Again."-GEORGE MACDONALD.
