THE CRITIC.
The critic, analyzing in his art The work of poot, painter, artisan, Must make their spirit his, if that he can Be sure of knowing their immortal part. How can the mind, unless it is intense In certain chords, be able to respond To kindred chords in others? Else the bond Ib wanting. The bold beggar, lacking pence. Supping with kings, at eating is their peer. And'a true critic was the painter old Depicting in his picture, soft yet bold, The charms which gave a halo to his sphere; In painting Christ in beauty and gold hair. He drew himself, a man extremely fair. —Edward S. Creamer in New York Sun.
