* * « Each of us has his pet ambition and his pet hero — his Napoleon, his Goethe, his William the Silent, his Cromwell, his Shakespeare. As we grdw older our tastes become simpler, and I sometimes fancy now that the fame of Izaak Walton is that which I would most covet. What a safe immortality his innocent prattle enjoys ! Such fame as his is altogether pure and lovely. One cannot perhaps entirely understand its persistent vitality, — this fragile Nautilus on the stormy boundless Atlantic ; bu...t the conviction that it would be a thousand pities if so much mildness, and sweetness, and ineffable content with trifles were to be ship- wrecked on the shore of oblivion, and lost to living men, may possibly explain it more or less. Grata quies. The turbid restless world is soothed and mollified by this simple picture of goodness which never changes. It is like those rustic pictures on the Urn which Keats must have seen somewhere, — what would that Urn bring at Christie's to-day, I wonder, if it could be found in Borghese Palace or elsewhere ?
