But its ef- fects remain. The Psalms written in this man- ner usually have but a single theme, which is repeated over and over again, in difierent words and with new illustrations. They are kaleido- scopic. The material does not change, but it is turned this way and that way, and shows itself in new shapes and arrangements. These alpha- betic psalms are characterized by poverty of action and richness of expression. 12 Digitized by LjOOQ iC II ILTON has already re-Lsrrical ininded us that the Ps...alms Quality belong to the second of theSf * ,^ three orders into which the ^^^^^ Greeks, with clear discern- ment, divided all poetry: the epic, the lyric, and the dra- matic. The Psalms are rightly called Isrrics because they are chiefly concerned with the immediate and imaginative expression of real feeling. It is the personal and emotional note that predominates. They are inward, confes- sional, intense; outpourings of the quickened spirit ; self-revelations of the heart It is for this reason that we should never separate them in our thought from the actual human life out of which they sprang.
