The mischievous little god crawls near the edge of the island, and by his divine weight nearly overturns it! We should observe the gross materialism of idea which underlies this pretty picture. Not one of the Roman poets is free from this taint. To take a well-known instance from Virgil; when Aeneas gets into Charon's boat "Gemuit sub pondere cymba Sutilis et multam accepit rimosa paludem."
Napier: "All manner of perplexities have occurred in the publishing of my poor book, which perplexities I could only cut asunder, not unloose; so the MS. like an unhappy ghost still lingers on the wrong side of Styx; the Charon of Street durst not risk it in his sutilis cymba, so it leaped ashore again." And yet this little book was nothing less than the History of the French Revolution.
