As soon as he ceased looking for subjects, which were mainly the conventional themes of verse, the real and vital subjects began looking for him. Eugenio himself, on his lower level, had something of the same experience.
"This remove will wipe a bit more off the debt, won't it? Ha, ha! I've made you reckon up what you owe Mrs. Verney. But there are others " "I'm awfully grateful to you, sir." "Never mind me." "What do you mean, sir?" "New Testament; Matthew; twenty-fifth chapter I forget verse. Look it up. Christ answers your question. Make life easier and happier for some of the new boys. Pass on gratitude.
Corridos, Pasiones, and Novenas were printed in abundance, in cheap editions, in Spanish as well as in the dialects of the country. The Corridos are stories in verse about historic events, falsified and fanciful, and love tragedies full of wonderful events mixed with divine prodigies and diabolical magics all lengthy, exaggerated, puerile, and absurd in the extreme.
Nothing can surpass some of his descriptions in the graceful delineation of tender feeling, and his verse is considered in sweetness and native strength, to be such a return to the tones of Garcilasso, as had not been heard in Spain for more than a century.
The energy created a new form in verse, not an orthodox beauty, which the classic artists would have admitted, but such picturesque beauty as Marcus Aurelius found in the foam on the jaws of the wild boar. I always want to find the fundamental emotion out of which a poet writes.

X. C. V. would have fallen in love if I had never written her a letter in verse, but she would have done so in a different manner, and probably with different results. As soon as dinner was served we were summoned to do justice to the choice fish which M. de la Popeliniere had provided. Madame X. C. V. a narrowminded Greek, was naturally bigoted and superstitious.
She sung this verse to him, sighing and sobbing, and kept singing it the night long, and it was all in vain: Four long years I was married to thee; Three sweet babes I bore to thee; Brown Bear of Norway, won't you turn to me? At the first dawn the proud lady was in the chamber, and led her away, and the footman of the horns put out his tongue at her as she was quitting the palace.
Hence their members gifted, grew spiritually proud, and despised their brethren; to correct which abuse of gifts, and direct them to the right use thereof for the common profit of all, is the chief scope of this chapter, see verse 7, "The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal."
