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.
