In the first place, we may say that his happiness was as wholly free from vulgar or transitory elements as a man's can be. It lay in a life which most men would have found austere and blank indeed ; a life from which not CroBsus only but Solon would have turned in scorn ; a life of pov- erty and retirement, of long apparent failure, and honour that came tardily at the close; it was a happiness nour- ished on no sacrifice of other men, on no eager appropria- tion of the goods of earth, but sprin...ging from a single eye and a loving spirit, and wrought from those primary emo- tions which are the innocent birthright of all. And if it be answered that, however truly philosophic, however sacred- ly pure, his happiness may have been, yet its wisdom and its holiness were without an effort, and that it is effort which makes the philosopher and the saint : then we must use in answer his own Platonic scheme of things, to express a thought which we can but dimly apprehend; and we must say that, though progress be inevitably linked in our minds with struggle, yet neither do we conceive of strug- gle as without a pause ; there must be prospect-places in the long ascent of souls ; and the whole of this earthly life — ^this one existence, standing we know not where among the myriad that have been for us or shall be — may not be too much to occupy with one of those outlooks of vision and of prophecy, when **Iii a Beason of calm weather, Though inland far we be, Our souls have sight of that immortal sea Which brought us hither ; Can in a moment travel thither, And see the children sport upon the shore, And hear the mighty waters rolling evermore.** Digitized by Google CHAPTER VIL " HAPPY WARRIOR," AND PATRIOTIC POEMS.
