Poetry inspired by music is almost invariably the rendering of a sentiment or a mood which the music is supposed to express; but here, in dealing with the fugue of his imaginary German composer, Browning finds his inspiration not in the sentiment but in the structure of the composition; he competes, as it were, in language with the art or science of the contrapuntist, and evolves an idea of his own from its complexity and elaboration.
He rarely imitates, but he frequently competes with him. Over and over again, he approaches the same or similar subjects.
One might say coöperation of course, but what makes coöperation powerful and what selects the people who shall lead coöperation what gives it character, dignity and power, is the thing in each man which inspires him to find a way to do or not to do certain things when he competes.
'Tis pleasure to the mourner, 'Tis freedom to the thrall; The pilgrimage of many, And the resting place of all, Is woman's love. 'Tis the gem of beauty's birth, It competes with joys above; What were angels upon earth If without woman's love? A woman's love.
Those who wish to persuade us that the Abolitionists in this again have simply sought their own interests, by seeking to break down the competition of servile labor, forget two or three things: first, that the slaves produce tobacco or cotton, while the North produces wheat, so that there is not a race in the world that competes less with it: next, that the cotton of the South is very useful to the North, useful to its manufactures, useful to its trade, both transit and commission.
The vine soon becomes very sturdy, its large green leaves so carpeting the ground that it even competes successfully with the cogon grass. If allowed, the plants multiply by their runners far beyond the space originally allotted to them. The tubers, which are about the size of our sweet potatoes, are dug up as needed, to replace or supplement rice in the daily menu.
About one farmer in ten belongs to some sort of farmers' association. Thousands of farmers do not take an agricultural paper, and perhaps millions of them have not read an agricultural book. Right here comes in another fact. Every "new" farmer when full grown competes with every mossback. The educated farmer makes it still harder for the ignorant farmer to progress.
She competes favorably in London with Grisi, Persiani, and Viardot. Takes the Place of Jenny Lind as Prima Donna at Her Majesty's. She extends her Voice into the Soprano Register. Performs Fides in "Le Prophète." Visit to America. Retires from the Stage.
An English girl is astonished to hear that an American girl passes a public examination, like her brothers, and with them competes for prizes; she doubts the truthfulness of some of the representations of life found in American novels; and so little is the freedom of manners understood, that the American traveller is frequently asked, "Can it really be as Mrs. Stowe represents in America?
As fuel to flame, and flame to the heavens, so must wealth, science, materialism even this democracy of which we make so much unerringly feed the highest mind, the soul. Infinitude the flight: fathomless the mystery. Man, so diminutive, dilates beyond the sensible universe, competes with, outcopes space and time, meditating even one great idea.
