THE EVENING DAILY TELEGRAM PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 5, 1870. POETS AND CRITICS. In Ibo cnrront number of the Ac ninny , Mr. latthow Arnold has stated hiH views upon a ibject of conBidcrable literary interest. Excellent work." he says, "inn lower kind vmnt in (ho long run nbove work which is iort of excellence in a liignor; llrsl-ruto iticinin lias a permanent value greater than at of any but flrRt-rnte works of poetry aud On a ouostion like tins, sivh a writer i the Jhu'li Xcict, few men aro better ablo speak or are more entitled to bo hoard inn Mr. Arnold, vno lias Removed diitin- nished success both as a poet and a critic. e knowR, it any one knows, tho worth and orthleusiiieHH of criticism, and tho author of The Forsaken Merman" and "The Scholar iriRV." whoso bent poems, accordinpt to Mr. winburre, cannot but live as long as any f their time, is not likely to depreciate tho lotions art in which he has proved himsolf 'master. It is therefore with some diffidence lat we venture to diff er from a writer so ireful and judicious; but we think the fal- cy of the argument might bo proved, to go ,o further, from Mr. Matthow Arnold's own ritings. In crilicinm his work will be al iwed, even by those who differ from him, be "first-rate," and it is probable that in nae rcKpects he has no rival in this depart ment of literal urc; as a poet, on the other nd, it would be absurd to place him in the ghest rank by tho side of bhukospeare and ilton. or even of "Wordsworth and Keats. et it needs no spirit of prophecy to declare at a few of Mr. Arnolds poems, half a cn perhaps, two or throo assuredly, will t a permanont place in English literature. as much be Raid lor Mr. Arnolds criti i? We greatly doubt it, and for this rea that criticism, however fine it may bo, e but a temporary purpose, and ln- nces comparatively low minds, wmie aiv iua uuiu ui mo uuuiuu ucaib v i lu a r which time cannot relax, since it ap- Js to universal feelings, which are unaf- ed bv change. the art of criticism has been frequently iciatcd with the art ot poetry. Dryden was of tho earliest and ablest of English ics, and what he has written about poetry poets bun still its interest for studonts; it is scurcely too much to say that the Jho of "glorious John" has become obsoloto, le his verse lives and will live. It may be octed that Drydon ranks with the poets , in Mr. Arnolds estimation, are hrst . Wo do not think this would be Mr. i old's judgment; but let us take a less btful case. Dr. Johnson was ascountod a at critic in his own day, and despite much tualiHM and prejudice has not wholly lost reputation. He is often in error, ho often ws an incapacity for appreciating the high- ordor ot poetry, but he is always vigorous 1 clear-headed, and his discernment is letimcs admirable. On tho other hand, nson was a small poet, and would perhaps er have written in rhyme if it had not fcn the fashion of the a;o: yet one or two of jit rieces, especially the lines on Levet, sur iVe in the memory of all lovers of poetry, fgain, Addison's criticism," considering the 'p at which it was written, may assuredly styled first-rate, while his poetry is for the lost part very poor ntulf indeed. But who ibdHAddisons criucism now-a-aaysr wno not read, perhaps learned, one or more of sacred poems written by the famous ossay- and preserved in most collections of L.ng- poetry tThe present ago has produced some great iglish critics and poets; indeed, almost all b poets who flourished at the beginning of jfe century. Coleridge, Shelley, Wordsworth, utt, and Southoy, for example, distin shed themselves in criticism as well as in itry. Take the last of those names as an istration of our subject, liobert Southey's icf in his greatness as a poet has not been ired by his contemporaries. His epics have t proved a fortune to his family, neither 76 they plaoed his name, as he fondly an ipated, by the side of Milton's. Southey's tk in poetry must, we fear, be pronounced nd-rate; his work as a prose writer and 'itic is, some of it, of the highest order; yet, we believe it will, it will be due probably ' a few beautiful occasional verses rather an to the worth, high though it be, of his most inimitable prose, sure we are that, eat as Coleridce proved Himself in the alms of criticism, all he ever wrote about betrv is as nothing when compared with that lost exquisite of all love poems, "Genevieve," th the "Hymn in the Vale or (Jhamouni, i with the ' Ancient Mariner." On the nolo, it may be said that poetry which can- it justly be pronounced the best that is to y, which must not be ranked with that of Into and Shakespeare, of Milton and Moliere has sometimes, nevertheless, a permanent Sue, which is not reached even by first-rate t: icism. ClIUECniS "DAMASCUS." Mr. Church's new picture of Damascus has Lst been placed on exhibition in New York, vl is thus noticed by the Tribune: Mr. Church's latest and, in the opinion of admirerR, greatest work is on exhibition Ir a short time at ilsoodler s gallery, it la first fruit of the artist s Eastern travel f understand the merits of the painting, it iust be borne in mind that the city of imascns stands in an almost circular plain ?out thirty miles in diameter. To the east. a bare horizon stretches far away, to the at lies tho great mountain chain of Anti banns, piles of sterile limestone rock. The vorite and usual approach to the city is ni this quarter. The traveller passes over 0 mountains, crosses tne waiersnea, 101- wirjc tho course of a small stream that flows rough a rich valloy. At length a cleft opens tho rocky hills, between two precipitous ffs; up tho side of one of these cUffa winds road; at the summit stands a rained apel. Trom that chapel, on the very co of the mountain range, the tveller gazes on the plain of tmascus, spreading out green and vast Borne Lusands of feet below. The view is one of U most enchanting in the world. You stand heights consecrated of old by sainthness d piayer. You look down on the famous it at a civilization mac nas passed awav. d on an expanse of natural beauty whose jry will rievor pass away, ino nttie jivor it had been pouring along between its Inks, marking the landscape with a doen 4e of verdure, rushes furiou'.ly through the 'inc. and. suddenly breaking forth "like burst in c of a shell, like the eruption of a lcano. scatters in every uirecuon its me- kins waters and flashes all over the im- nse valiev the intensity 01 green mat herto had clung lovingly to its channol. low are the groves and gardens, floating, as were, like islanda on the bosom 01 a iruu- !l sea the walnut and the olive trees, the Imegranato, the fig, the citron, tho apnoot, Je apple, and far in the distance "The city sparkles llko a grain of salt." This is the view the artist saw spread out ncath him, and triod to transfer to his perishable canvas. To depict objoots in de tail was, of course, impossible. In tho doeps below the Bpecial groups of foliago disiippoar, blending in a rich but indistinct mass of vor dnre. In the remoteness of the plain the city becomes a while gleam; and the river, tho ancient Abana, probably, sends up htful ilnfdies of light from the dark bosom of tho forest. The hour chosen for tho scene H the closing of tho day. The westering sun sinks belaud the mountain chain, leaving its east ern declivity in shadow; which explains tho apparent want of texture and even of form iu the rocks, making them look soft like wool as they flow down into the plain. The craggy points alone are defined by tho sun beams that gild thorn, as they pour through tho gorgo and throw a trail of splendor across the verdant sea. This trail of light is the picture. 1 he huge shadow of the moun tain darkens the left side of the valley, extin guishing all but the faint glimmorings of the irrepressible river, so that the broad band of glory, making a clear course, strikes full upon the white domes and minarets of the city. No person who has not gazed on such a scene can indco well of tho artist's fidelity in de scribing it. No eye but that of an artist can tako in tho striking features of its beauty. Mr. Church has lino powers of observation, a rctnnrljnbln faeultv of retaininn' ininrnssionn made on the retina, and a singular skill in the use ot his pencil. All his pictures are studies 01 light; no one nas ooen so success fnl as he in catching the effects of light in the rainbow, on the waterfall, on the near foliage or the distant mountain peak. But Mr. Church has forfeited our confidence by his ambitions efforts to produce startling effects. Year by year ho seems to us to have been departing from the sober truth of art and courting the illusions of artifice. Hid purpose has been to surprise and startle rather than to teach, and in pursuing this purpose he has resorted to means not always noble or legitimate. We think he has done so in this instance. As we remarked bofore. he has escaped the necessity of drawing his rocks, delineating his buildings, or indicating his masses of trees. Tho liconse of generali zation has been freoly resorted to in order that attention might not be divortod from the one grand feature, the track of tho sunbeam, But is the sunbeams uccessfullv painted? Are its effeets ably developed ? Does the picture convey to tho visitor the scone above sketched? We doubt if a single person standing before it wotdd imagine himself looking, down from an immense height upon a level plain thirty miles in diameter, and upon a city enbosomed in gardens. Not only is the sense of elevation and of distance feebly conveyed, the plain does not soom to be a plain, but a violently broken surface. The portion covered by the mountain shadow appears to be a lake or inland sea; the portion traversed by the sunbeam has tho aspect of a high ridge, cutting the vniley in twain; the city has the appearance of being built on a broad platoau which slopes suddenly to tho lake shore; and the liver, instead of dashing from the craggy fortress, and reaching out a hundred shining arms towards Damascus, looks as if it was flowing in an opposite direction, from the city to the mountains, and was trickling down the declivity into the lake, as it wound its way along, bo clear is this impression that all former impressions of the scene acquired by reading are overluid and obliterated by it. It is permanent; continued observation fails to remove it; din event minds take it, at differ ent hours of the day, and bring it away with them. Now, the impression made by a stream of light so wide and brilliant may be pre cisely what is here given; if it is, the effect is of an exceptional character and fails to tell us the ordinary truth about Damascus, which must be far more bewitching than this singu lar eccentricity of description. And if, as we are wickedly tempted to suspect, the impres sion is not true, the artist has not succeeded in what he undertook, and Ins latest work is not his greatest work. ENQINE8, MACHINERY.
