Oh Rome my country! city of the soul !
The Orphans of the heart must turn to thee
BYRON, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage.

Yet Italy!

Mother of Arts, as once of arms; thy hand

Was then our guardian, and is still our guide

Europe, repentant of her parricide.

Shall yet redeem thee, and all backwards

Roll the barbarian tide and (sue) to be forgiven

Idem.

History, at least in state of ideal perfection, is a compound of poetry and philosophy.-It impresses general truths on the mind by a vivid representation of particular characters and incidents.
