Novimus quanta lepore descripserit colloquia illa antemeridiana, symposia illa sobria et severa, sed eadem festiva et faceta, in quibus totiens mutata persona, modo poeta, modo professor, modo princeps et arbiter, loquendi, inter convivas suos regnat."

Be this as it may, it was not Tennyson, nor any other of our poets, that I would have taken to my dreamed-of solitary cabin for companionship: Melendez came first to my mind. I think of his lines to a butterfly: De donde alegre vienes Tan suelta y tan festiva, Las valles alegrando Veloz mariposilla?*
* May be roughly rendered thus: Whence, blithe one, comest thou With that airy, happy flight To make the valleys glad, O swift-winged butterfly? and can imagine him the poet himself coming to see me through the woods and down the hill with the careless ease and lightness of heart of his own purple-winged child of earth and air tan suelta y tan festiva.
