This folk, far in its past, had imagined the figure of a hero-poet, Vainemunden, and placed in his hands an instrument "shaped out of very sorrow," and attributed magical power to his song.
The Hutaym, who own most of it, claim the lover and hero-poet, 'Antar, as one of their despised tribe hence, probably, his connection with the adjoining mountain and "the stable." "Jebel Libin" is the great feature of the Tihamat-Balawiyyah; for many days it will appear to follow us, and this is the proper place for assigning its rank and status to it.
We will not estimate the Sun by the quantity of gaslight it saves us; Dante shall be invaluable, or of no value. One remark I may make: the contrast in this respect between the Hero-Poet and the Hero-Prophet. In a hundred years, Mahomet, as we saw, had his Arabians at Grenada and at Delhi; Dante's Italians seem to be yet very much where they were.
What a strange madness must have laid hold on the nation to have led them to prefer such a piece of petulance and vanity to their hero-poet- king! What did it mean? The answer is not far to seek, and it is the great lesson of this story. David's sin was truly repented and freely forgiven, but not left unpunished.
His cannons and Cossacks will all have rusted into nonentity, while that Dante's voice is still audible. The Nation that has a Dante is bound together as no dumb Russia can be. We must here end what we had to say of the Hero-Poet. Our present discourse is to be of the Great Man as Priest.
For once, or the nonce, we seem to see the hero-poet acclaimed. In a middle episode the motive of the cadence sings expressively with delicate harmonies, rising to full-blown exaltation. We may see here an actual brief celebration, such as Tasso did receive on entering Ferrara. And here is a sudden fanciful turn.
