It is an axiom: that which is not felt, can not be expressed. Si vis me flere dolendum est Primum ipsi tibi; tunc tua me infortunia lædent, Telephe, vel Peleu: male si mandata loqueris, Aut dormitabo, aut ridebo. Could Horace rise from the dead, he would not wonder a little in finding out, some men still doubting the above uncontrovertible quotation.
Livy, speaking of the Roman army in Spain, says that for the loss of the two brothers, their great captains: "Flere omnes repente, et offensare capita." 'Tis a common practice.
Si vis me flere, dolendum est Primum ipsi tibi. About this time Carlyle writes, "My friends think I have found the art of living upon nothing," and there must, despite Mill's contribution, have been "bitter thrift" in Cheyne REow during the years 1835-1837. To the last work, undertaken against the grain, he refers in one of the renewed wails of the year: "O that literature had never been devised.
Say all this, and a great deal more, emphatically and pathetically; for you know 'si vis me flere'. This can do you no harm, if you never return to Paris; but if you do, as probably you may, it will be of infinite use to you. Remember too, not to omit going to every house where you have ever been once, to take leave and recommend yourself to their remembrance.

Are there not some constitutions that feed upon it? "Est quaedam flere voluptas;" and one Attalus in Seneca says, that the memory of our lost friends is as grateful to us, as bitterness in wine, when too old, is to the palate: "Minister vetuli, puer, Falerni Inger' mi calices amariores" Catullus, xxvii. and as apples that have a sweet tartness.
Nec tantum Geticis grassatus proditor armis: Ante Sibyllinæ fata cremavit opis. Odimus Althæam consumti funere torris: Niseum crinem flere putantur aves: At Stilicho æterni fatalia pignora regni; Et plenas voluit præcipitare colus. Omnia Tartarei cessent tormenta Neronis, Consumat Stygias tristior umbra faces. Hic immortalem, mortalem perculit ille: Hic mundi matrem perculit, ille suam.
The Actor, doubtless, is as strongly ty'd down to the rule of Horace, as the writer. Si vis me flere, dolendum est Primum ipsi tibi
The poet's power lies in creating sympathy; but he cannot, however richly gifted, stir feelings which he has not himself known in all their intensity. Ut ridentibus arrident ita flentibus adflent Humani vultus. Si vis me flere dolendum est Primum ipsi tibi. The religious history of man is essentially the same in all ages. It takes its rise in the duality of his nature.
What, then, were his notions of true "sentiment" in literature? We have seen elsewhere that he repeats it would appear unconsciously and commends the canon which Horace propounds to the tragic poet in the words: "Si vis me flere, dolendum Primum ipsi tibi: tunc tua me infortunia laedent."
