ghost of Banquo, &c., yet one may be none the less shaken, from even the bottom of the soul, by the terrible effects which they wish to proscribe. One cannot teach good taste in the arts, like the bon ton in society; for the bon ton serves to conceal that of which we are in want, while above all things a creative spirit is necessary in the arts: good taste cannot hold the place of talent in literature, for the better proof of taste, where one has not talent, will be to write nothing. If one dare say it, perhaps it may be found, that in France now, the racers on this track have too much rein, and very little spirit, and that in Germany much literary independence produces results not even so brilliant. "Sweet are the uses of adversity," As dying grapes, when crushed, are turned to wine, From earth, with transports of a bliss divine. THE WAY TO HEAVEN. Eye has not seen, ear heard, nor heart conceived, 3. 'Tis that immortal part, that heavenly spirit, Which came from God, on earth here to inherit.
