Coreopsis. — ‘Love at first sight’ 
In spite of the ridicule so apt to be indulged at the mention of 
this possibility, it is a circumstance which, I at least believe, fre¬ 
quently occurs in life. 
When first I gazed upon that brow, 
Where thought its impress strong had set, 
I felt my haughty spirit how 
As though it had its masters met 
And when I marked thy kindling eye 
Give forth its genius-flash of power, 
My heart in one long deep-drawn sigh, 
Proclaimed ’t was captive from that hour.
