ORIGIN OF THE SENTIMENT. 
The poets present us a store-house of 
thoughts when a sentiment is apparently ob¬ 
scure. Keats here assists us : — 
“On one side is a field of drooping oats, 
Through which the poppies show their scarlet coats, 
So feet and useless, that they bring to mind 
The scarlet coa' s that pester humankind.”
