I have remarked often that the most unimaginative people, who can see no beauty in a cultivated English field or in the features of a new-born babe, are the loudest ravers about glorious sunsets and Alpine panoramas; just as the man with no music in his soul, to whom a fugue of Sebastian Bach, or one of Mendelssohn's Songs without Words, means nothing, and is nothing thinks a monster concert of drums and trumpets uncommonly fine.
For what difference is there between such triflers and ravers, and those who say that intemperance was not brought forth unprofitably for continence, nor injustice for justice, so that we must pray to the gods, there may be always wickedness, if, when these are taken away, virtue will also vanish and be lost? Or do you desire to understand the greatest sweetness of his eloquence and persuasion?
The cause of this inconstancy has not escaped even the philosophers. The Whig and the Tory, rival lovers of Luna, moonstruck ravers, woo her with honeyed words and dulcet promises, and she inclines her coquettish ear most of the month she is all ear to the highest bidder.
