James's to convey a beau over a street, and preserve his white stockings. The truth is, we do not chuse to have any recourse to miracles, from the strict observance we pay to that rule of Horace, Nec Deus intersit, nisi dignus vindice nodus.
As for what Horace says in his "Art of Poetry," that no machines are to be used unless on some extraordinary occasion "Nec deus intersit, nisi dignus vindice nodus"
It is certain, that nothing less than the intervention of Jupiter was required to save the four unfortunate sergeants of the bailiff of the courts. If we had the happiness of having invented this very veracious tale, and of being, in consequence, responsible for it before our Lady Criticism, it is not against us that the classic precept, Nec deus intersit, could be invoked.
But the natural power of a story is diminished when the uppermost purpose in the writer seems to be to recommend something else, namely, Religion. You know what Horace says of the Deus intersit? I am not able to explain myself, you must do it for me. I wrote only the "Witch Aunt," the "First Going to Church," and the final story about "A little Indian girl" in a ship.
The supernatural part, though much better, as it seems to me, than is generally admitted, is no doubt not entirely satisfactory, being uncertainly handled, and subject to the warning of Nec deus intersit. There is some return of that superabundance of interval and inaction which has been noted in the Bride.
To one god in particular we may apply the Horatian maxim, "Nec deus intersit, nisi dignus vindice nodus." In German aesthetic theory, the conception tragische Schuld "tragic guilt" plays a large part.
