There have been words, which earth grew pale to hear,
"Breath'd from the cavern's misty chambers nigh:
"There have been voices through the sunny sky,
And the pine woods, their choral hymn-notes sending,
"And reeds and lyres, their Dorian melody,
With incense clouds around the temple blending,
"And throngs, with laurel boughs, before the altar bending."
27. A Philosopher. H. Wyatt. Admirably coloured: the flesh tints and deep expression of the features will not escape notice.
52. The Town of Menagio, on the Lake of Como. T.C. Hofland. A scene of beautiful repose in the artist's best style.
57. Portrait of Mrs. Davenport in the character of the Nurse in "Romeo and Juliet." James Holmes. Almost speakingly characteristic. You may imagine the actress drawling out, "awear—y," and her attitude admirably accords with "Fie, how my bones ache."
