PARALLEL PASSAGES.* 



1. 



" In a drear-nighted December, 



Too happy, happy tree, 



Thy branches ne'er remember 



Their green felicity," 8cc.— Keats. 

 " What would be the heart of an old weather-beaten 

 hollow stump, if the leaves and blossoms of its youth 

 were suddenly to spring up out of the mould around it, 

 and to remind it how bright and blissful summer was 

 in the years of its prime?" — Hare's Guesses at Truth, 

 1st series, p. 244. 



2. " Spake full well, in language quaint and olden. 

 One who dwelleth by the castled Rhine, 

 When he call'd the flowers, so blue and golden. 

 Stars that on earth's firmament do shine." 



Longfellow, Flowers. 

 « And daisy-stars, whose firmament is green." 

 Hood, Plea of the Midsummer Fairies, xxxvi. 



[And see the converse thought, — 



" Stars are the daisies that begem 

 The blue fields of the sky." 

 D. M. Moir, quoted in BubL Univ. Mag., Oct. 1852.] 



3. " But she is vauish'd to her shady home 



Under the deep, inscrutable ; and there 

 Weeps in a midnight made of her own hair." 



Hood, Hero and Leander, cxvi. ) 

 " Within the midnight of her hair. 

 Half-hidden in its deepest deeps," &c. 



Barry Cornwall, The Pearl Wearer. 

 " But, rising up, 

 Robed in the long night of her deep hair, so 

 To the open window moved." 



Tennyson, Princess, p. 89. 



4. " He who for love hath undergone 



The worst that can befall, 

 Is happier thousandfold than one 

 Who never loved at all." 



M. Milnes, To Myrzha, on returning. 

 " I hold it true, whate'er befall, 



I feel it when I sorrow most, 



'Tis better to have loved and lost. 

 Than never to have loved at all." 



Tennyson, In Memoriam, xxvii. 



5. Boileau, speaking of himself, when set in his 

 youth to study the law, says that his family — 



" Palit, et vit en fremissant 



Dans la poudre du greffe un poete naissant." 



While Pope, in his Epistle to Dr. Arbuthnof, 

 speaks of — 



" Some clerk, foredoora'd his father's soul to cross. 

 Who pens a stanza when he should engross." 



Harry Leboy Temple. 



P.S. — At p. 123. of Vol. vi. are inserted some
