Some, indeed, there were, who thought to show the soundness of their judgment by affirming that all the beauty and dignity of the natural world existed only in the poet's fancy. Let such men speak for themselves, who un- doubtedly appear to have been spawned forth by Na- ture with a contemptuous bitterness ; she having plas- tered them up out of her refuse stuff, after sdl the swine were made. As respects all things else, the poet's ideal was the truest truth. The songs of this poet found their... way to Ernest. He read them after his customary toil, seated on the bench before his cottage-door, where for such a length of time he had filled his repose with thought, by gaz- ing at the Great Stone Face. And now as he read stanzas that caused the soul to thrill within him, he lifted his eyes to the vast countenance beaming on him so benignantly. " O majestic friend," he murmured, addressing the Great Stone Face, ^* is not this man worthy to resem- ble thee?" The face seemed to smile, but answered not a word.
