Thus, people having the care et their own liberty, are always qualifying theimselvesj to preserve it and c - onsequently are becoming more enlightened. Campbell in conversation' with Lester, speaking. of, the; great ifoets of England, expresses his siirpri.e that America has never produced any great poets. He said that the talentTof-Aviericausr, like that liberty and wealth appears to bodistributed anlong all ; and he understands that every man here rani write some poetry.' True, in the United States: there is no tniquality of - rank.or condition ; and the minds of the people do therefore fain them selves after the same model. Whereaslin Eng- land, all the liberty and privileges are honfiried' to the few, and it would he remarkable if , among tlketn she did not produce some great' men. But it is like scraping the soil into heaps, with the view of deriving an extrOrdinary: :growth out of the country's spoils. And in deed the most enlightened ages hati never been reMarkable for great poets. — Poqry is to science what blossoms are .to the f)mit ; it, makes the spring-time of iaiviliaation delightful, ; but must always be sacrificed to gain ihe fruit of knowb dge. As blosstims :,excite desire for the ripe fruit, so does poetry the etithuttiasni of the itnaginatimi, without instructing tile mind. Both however, promise fruit of their reSpeetive, kinds at a future time. Hence we soinetimes see the modest lover resorting to the shades of: a favorite grove, to cull flowers and 4orcposei lines for his doxy) as emblematical n desire,i and expectation. Once, ;on hearing Fjrgil re cite the sixth book, of his Aneid, Octavio., over- ! come with sorrow, faintitd away; boa,* on re-; covering was so delighted that she p/esented; the poet with ten sesterces for eaehpine, a mounting in all to upwards of two thousand I pounds sterling. Bence, we conclude Oat po etry is the escape, - of passions ; and even •in modern times, disappointed:lovers givti vent to their passion thrmigh that 'medium ; - although it is not to be compared; to the scapeinent of the deeper-glowing passiions of a rude/ age. j ; Amitmil.
