We mean not to deny that there is something in this objection. It might even seem to plead the authority of Scripture in its favour "He that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen ?" And it was indeed no new remark in Horace's days, Segnius irritant animos demissa per aures, Quam quæ sunt oculis subjecta fidelibus.
It is not that they can not thoroughly appreciate rectitude of feeling, brilliancy of conversation, and distinguished talent; but remember the hackneyed quotation: Segnius irritant animum demissa per aures, Quam quæ sunt oculis subjecta fidelibus.
Segnius irritant you know! What disciple of old Plunkett's will ever forget the difference between the demissa per aurem, and "quæ sunt oculis subjecta fidelibus!" I have always maintained that his illustration of this great principle gave Dickens the hint of his Dotheboy's Hall.

He pointed over his shoulder at the Lord Privy Seal.
Strabones, glaucos, micantes et terribiles oculos habentes quaecumque et iratis oculis aspiciunt fascino inficiunt. Moral. If you ever meet with such an agreeable person as this Spaniard appears to have been, look out!
It is first necessary to consider, Why, probably, the compositions of the Ancients, especially in their serious Plays were after this manner? And this, the judicious HORACE clearly speaks of, in his Arte Poetica; where he says Non tamen intus Digna geri, promes in scenam: multaque tolles Ex oculis, quae mox narret facundia praesens.
Then, "Satiata siccis oculis composito vultu redibat, tanquam orbitatem foris reliquisset." No one could have written that beautiful sentence but a man of tender heart and sympathies. Pliny's tastes were catholic. He writes with delight, but without pretending to be a connoisseur, of an antique statuette which he had purchased out of a legacy.
