THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, Fill DAT, SEPTEMBER 0, 1870. SUA KR$r EA RE ON" HE A TTTY. Frwn the London Saturday Rfrinr. The admiration Mutt we render to the genius of Shakespeare is Dot all consciously paid. Tferhaps it is, quite an often as not, unconscious. As with a great building, so with a great Renins, wherever excellence or curiosity in tbe parts is lost in the harmony or perfectness of the whole, admiration i unconsciously or tacitly expressed. In tSbakospesre, overpowered by bis dramatic force and completeness, we often lose sight of his reasoning ability and his analytical acnteness. No man leaves lich'nd him in quantity so large an intellectual legacy as .Shakespeare left, especially when tbe quality is rare and tbe variety great, without having pnt on record incidentally many marks of the detailed workings of his tniod; and not only of his special intellectual processes or principles, bnt also of his tastes and sympa thies, lint who can say much on these mat ters respecting Shakespeare ? Who does not feel himself to be better informed about the likes and dislikes of Falstaff, lioroeo, Othello, or even Hamlet, than he is nbout tho views and sentiments of their originator? The reason is that the genius of Shakespeare was not only profounJly dramatic but profoundly faithful to draioatio requirement. Ani thus he becomes individually lost; lost doubly, in tbe completeness and the va riety of his dramatic creations. Hat though lost to surface study and nLdincriniinating observation lost, in short, to that hasty and unsatisfactory character known as tho "general reader" there is no reason why bo should not be found, if care fully searched after. In other words, the works of Shakespeare do actually contain traces, more or less distinct, of what he thought and felt on a great variety of sub jects, and by setting these indications side by side a united whole may be gained which tells ns a good deal about his mind and heart in this or that. Wo propose in these remarks to examine how he wrote, and to infer as nearly as msy bo how he thought, on the subject of pornonal beauty. We think it was Lord Chesterfield who once described personal beauty as "a good letter of introduction." Good looks cer tainly do the work of such letters very well in a great number of instances: but the de scription will be felt to be mean, feeble, and inadequate. Shakespeare would not have endured it for a moment, lie might have put it for dramatic purposes into the mouth of a calculating Iago or a cynical Jaqnes; bnt it is the last thing that he himself would have acoepted as a description of beauty, for Ids thoughts ran altogether on another level. They may not win general acceptance just now. It is possible that they may incline some readers to ask, as George III once asked of Miss liurney (in confidence), "Was there ever snob, stuft as great part of Shakes peare?" But they are, notwithstanding, on a level which no one would be the worse for trying to reach once more. Beauty, in his conception, was, in the first place, one of the great primo gifts of life. He is continually given to rank it among these He classes it with Wit, ' High birth, vigor of bone, desert in service, Love, friendship, charity, " with education, youth, honesty, worth, courage and w isdom. Like all of these, it is to be regarded more as a trust than as a gift. It may be disfigured and wasted, a thing which it is criminal to allow; or increased and transmitted, which it is not a matter of caprice, bnt a duty. Whatever view may be held aboat the Sonnets in general, no one who knows well that exquisite and difficult series of poems will have much doubt that the reiterated injunctions to perpetuate the great endowment of beauty by transmission, which abound in the first twenty or thirty sonnets, are something more than the expres sion of a wish regardmg a particular case, and represented general and permanent per suasions. Like other prime personal faculties or ac quisitions, beauty is also, in Shakespeare's view, a potent intlnencer. It is sometimes mysteriously powerful for evil. Beauty Is a witch Against wbo.se charms faith inelteth into Mood. It "provoketh thieves sooner than gold; it often makes women proud, and men effemi nate. On the other hand, it can and ought to exercise a sovereignty for good sove reignty, because it is itself hedged round with a kind of regal divinity. Beauty's princely majesty Is ancti, Confounds the tongue a nil makes the senses rough. If it drove Angelo into insane and reckless villany, it more often "reclaims the tyrant," and wins "respect" and "privilege." It can shame the purse-proud into submission, and it can annihilate time. A withered hermit, five-score winters worn. Might shake oir fifty, look luff ia her eye; Beauty doth varnish age, as it newborn, And gives the crutch the cradle's infancy. We have so far spoken only of the rela tions and the influence of beauty. There is no dramatic poet who writes so clearly, so consistently (within reasonable limits), and so nobly as Shakespeare does about its nature and quality. Every now and then it suits him to write byperbolioally, as when the servant in Troilus and Cresitida calls, not beauty in the abstract only, but the actual embodied Helen, "love's invisible soul." But Shake speare's own thought and feeling about the nature of beauty was exactly the opposite of this. A score of passages show that he habi tually conceived of it as a kind of semi-corpo real essence, the soul or vital princi pie of which is goodness. V. e do not care to inquire Low far this was due to the higher influences of .uphmsin, or to the mysticism of Italian poets. For, like everything else that he touched, be had maite these thoughts esen tially his own; and they had beea removed by him (though at this time of day they may look almost too delicate for common use) out of the region of the transcen dental, and worked into the relations of ao tnal and practical life. In Meant re for Meatvre, tbe loftiest in some respects of all the Shakspearian dramas, the Duke tells Isabella that "the goodness that is cheap in Leant v fin other and less apposite words, venality in beauty) makes beauty brief in goodness (short-lived); but grace, being the soul of your complexion, shall keep the body of it fair forever." Antonio, in Twe'fth Jlyht, mistaking Viola for Sebastian, and latterly believing himself disowned, telLs the opposed fair traitor that he has "done good jeature fcuauie . "In nature there's no blemish but the mind ; IS' one can be called deformed but the unkind ; Virtue it Itauty ; but the beauteous evil Are empty trunks o'ernourlshed by tho devil." Elizabeth of York, in a quick agony of sus pense while discoursing with IUohard of her daughter, talks in the same breath of "stain ins her beauty" and "corrupting her man. ners." Troilns dreams of oonatancy, the embodiment of goodness in many kinds, as "Outliving beauty's outward, with a mind Tfiat doth renew swifter than blood decays.'' And the Hying death of false beauty is likened in Ita&sanio's hps to the display of torrow ed tresses, 'The crisp, analiy golden look Which make suon wanton gambols with the wind Upon auppoaed fairness," when all the while they are dissevered from what was their original and source of life "the skull that bred them in the se pulchre." These with Shakespeare are no transient whimsical phrases. They are his habitual thoughts. They arc put into the mouths of the most varied characters, and they are in teLsified by some of LU most powerful writiiig. 1 hey differ from the riakmic and Spenserian phantasies so pleasantly dis coursed npon by Charles Lamb in the essay on Wrs. Con rady. Delicate and true as these are, there is an air of ingeniousness about them Vy reason of which they Btrike less direotly home. In them the virtuous soul is the cause of a beautiful exterior, provided always that tho material is pl tstio enough. But tbe doctrine that the exterior beauty is proportioned to the internal intellectual light ia too glaringly contrary to facts to be impressive; and the saving provision that some material is so obstinate that it cannot be worked upon is too general and too elastic. In Shakespeare the beau tiful exterior is not attempted to be account ed for; but the laws of its life and doalh, its durability and decay, are delineated with a fineness and precision of thought which ge nius might inspire, but which nothing but virtuous soundness of nature could dictate and render habitual. If, however, we have mentioned Spenser's "Hymne in Honour of Beautie," with a 6ligbtly unfavorable contrast on a particular point, it is impossible to end without stop ping again to extol it. Thore is one thought pervading it in which tbe two great Eliza bethan contemporaries could not but agree in which perhaps all the greatest mediioval and modem poets have agreed and that ia, tbe immortality of beauty. The line in Keats A thing of beauty is a joy for ever has performed such severe and unremitting duty as a quotation that we are ashamed once more to recall it. Bnt perhaps it is not very common to recollect that the words, and the whole passage .where they stand, indicate a thought which is instinctive in natures of a certain degree of feeling and perception, and which has been seized and embodied by the loftiest minds in their loftiest moods. Keats is possessed pri marily by tbe thought of the abiding effect of things beautiful; but be also conveys what Shakespeare and Spenser and.lilton express again and agoin the idea of permanency in beauty itself, its association in the mind, not with what is transient, but with what is eternal. We all know what it is to grudge een the passing of a beautiful day The clew shall weep to tall to-night, r or tnou tuuat uie ; we wish to hold fast the "shapes of sky or plain;" and, moved by a stronger instiact still, we cannot loso without unwillingness the present light and glory of personal human beauty. Termanency is not only the thought or emotion of reflecting minds on fronting beauty; it is more than that; it is the blind intuition even of natures that never were and never will be able to compass in thought such abstractions as beauty or permanency at all. lleilection, stimulated, perhaps, rather than dulled by frequent loss and laminar disappointment. casts about to find what the elements of per manency may be, and the great poets, "in clear dream and solemn vision," have found it, and declare it to be the prime germ of beauty its life and soul. Gall it what you will grace, virtue, goodness this "luce intellec tual, picna a amorc is the real remedy of loss or of decay in beauty, tho guarantee of per petuity; it casts "abeam upon the outward shape, Ana Turns it ry negrecs ro me sours essence, Till all be mado Immortal. And Shakespeare, whenever he has occasion to do more than merely transmit the name of beauty through his verse, is never far from thoughts like these. He is always ready to pass from the outward to the inward; from the form to the idea; from tne corporeal re flection to tbe inextinguished ray which Is heavenly-born and cannot die, Being a parcell of the purest sklo.
