Even in the earHest productions of his youth, the inward truth to nature gains the victory over die nnnaturalness upon which they are so often censured, and which, for this reason, occurs no more in his later poetical works. We have great poets who have repre- sented other than moral beauties ; who were, perhaps, superior to our Schiller in the talent of representation ; but no one has had the art of uniting the interests of virtue and poetry like Schiller. We possess no representation of virtu...e more poetical, and no* poet more virtuous. 148 MENZSL. In Schiller's ideals, we meet with no dead mechan- ical law, no theory,, no dry system of morab, but a living and organic nature, a stirring life of acting men. This ideal nature is the creation of genius. Schiller himself says — " Understanding repeateth what has already existed ; Thou only, Qenius, canst nature in nature enlarge.** Genius unfolds from its inmost depth the higher nature of man. What in others slumbers at the root beneath an earthly covering, in genius puts forth its full and glowing blossom.
