Haight, in the cultivated tones of one who had recited upon the stage of her youth, "Curfew shall not ring to-night," and "The Wreck of the Hesperus." The huskily strident voice trembled slightly, but she read several pages of foolscap without a break, and finished with a flourish. Then Mrs. Leslie, in spite of scraping chairs, asked Mrs.
We were now taught how, in the beginning of the world, mankind clothed their enemies in impossible attributes and how details proceeding from mouth to mouth, might, like Virgil's ever-growing Rumour, reach the heavens with her brow, and clasp Hesperus and Lucifer with her outstretched hands.
Years before, when a boy in his father's home in distant Hayling, Massachusetts, those in authority had commanded that he in his eleventh year and as shy as one can be only at that interesting age should rise in the presence of a roomful of strangers, adult guests, and recite "The Wreck of the Hesperus." He had risen. He had blushed. He had stammered.
The motive a comparison between a man of moral grandeur and one of grandiose immorality came to Richter while he was engaged on "Hesperus," a fact that explains why certain characters from the earlier romance reappear in "Titan." I. Liana
Deep down into its innermost heart penetrated the slanting rays of Hesperus like a shaft of light, sunk far into mysterious Golcondas, where myriad gnomes seemed toiling. Soon a light breeze rippled the water, and the shaft was seen no more.
The glass has gone down; the storm has come up; the sea tyrant has got hold of the solitary passenger and dandles her very roughly, singing "The Wreck of the 'Hesperus'" in a loud bass to some grand deep tune, alternating with the one hundred and third Psalm in Gaelic.

The vespers of the birds were faintly dying away, the last low of the returning kine sounded over the lea, the tinkle of the sheep-bell was heard no more, the thin white moon began to gleam, and Hesperus glittered in the fading sky. It was the twilight hour! That delicious hour that softens the heart of man, what is its magic? Not merely its beauty; it is not more beautiful than the sunrise.
What an irruption it was! as if by a tilt of the planet the climate had changed suddenly, and palm-trees, oranges, the sugarcane, the grotesque dragon-tree, and all the woods of rich and curious grain, stood in the temperate and meagre soil. Schiller met Jean Paul in the spring of 1796. In writing to Goethe about their interviews, he says, "I have told you nothing yet about Hesperus.
Sir, scoff as you may, love is the one sunbeam of poetry that gilds with a softened splendor the hard, bare outline of many a prosaic life. "Work, work, work, from weary chime to chime"; tramp behind the plough, hammer on the lapstone, beat the anvil, drive the plane, "from morn till dewy eve"; but when the dewy eve comes, ah! Hesperus gleams soft and golden over the far-off pinetrees, but
Motto from the poet Plato.

Motto from Moschus. Translated on p. 66, 'Poison came, Bion, &c. It is my intention to subjoin to the London edition of this poem a criticism, &c.
