And yet, it seems, parents will put into the hands of their childrenridiculous parodies (perhaps with more ridiculous "illustrations") ofthe poems which stirred their own tenderness or filial piety, and carrythem to make their first acquaintance with great men, great works, orsolemn crises through the medium of some miscellaneous burlesque which, with its idiotic puns and farcical attitudes, will remain among theirprimary associations, and reduce them throughout their time of studiouspreparatio...n for life to the moral imbecility of an inward giggle at whatmight have stimulated their high emulation or fed the fountains ofcompassion, trust, and constancy. One wonders where these parents havedeposited that stock of morally educating stimuli which is to beindependent of poetic tradition, and to subsist in spite of the finestimages being degraded and the finest words of genius being poisoned aswith some befooling drug.
