Of design, and with deep meaning, the body is left unnoticed, and the history of his soul is continued beyond the boundary of life, as the real and uninterrupted history of the man: in the same breath and in the same sentence that intimates his death, we are informed that he was carried by angels into Abraham's bosom.
The magic lights; the pomp of scene; the palace, the camp; the forest; the midnight wold; the moonlight reflected on the water; the melody of the tragic rhythm; the grace of the comic wit; the strange art that give such meaning to the poet's lightest word; the fair, false, exciting life that is detailed before us crowding into some three little hours all that our most busy ambition could desire love, enterprise, war, glory! the kindling exaggeration of the sentiments which belong to the stage like our own in our boldest moments: all these appeals to our finer senses are not made in vain.
