OF what importance is it to great poets that the history of their lives should be transmitted to posterity? Their life is entirely involved in the duration of their works: and the traditions and legends with which, in the dearth of posi tive information, the people surround the cradle or the tomb of their favourite bards, rather add to their renown.
