Synopsis
Excerpt from The Sacred Classics, or Cabinet Library of Divinity, Vol. 21
IT is an error, common to some who believe them selves lovers of Poetry, with many who disregard and, perhaps, despise it, that the purpose of this department of literature is merely to afl'ord an ele gant pastime, or to supply a pleasing but aimless excitement. This mistake, so fatal to the just in fluence of some of the noblest efforts of the human mind, we may expect to find prevailing in an age distinguished at once by the love of pleasure, and an eager devotion to the afi'airs of life. The deli cate slaves of luxury, contaited with the stimulus which animated verse applies to the imagination, and the edge it imparts to sensibility, willingly rest here in their appreciation of its worth: the enjoyment, and still more the application, of what lies beyond, demands an exertion of the higher faculties of the mind to which they are unaccus tomed, and which they therefore decline with dis gust. The active worldly man, on the other hand.
