Poetry.
Poetry is the medium through which is conveyed some of the purest and most refined emanations of the soul,—dreamy and undefined as may frequently appear the aspirations of the poet, yet the deficiency is in the articulation of the ideas, not in the conception of them, it is a kind of link which joins the spirit with spirit-land, and could it bear back to earth its wondrous visions of beauty, brighter and more elevated would forever be its song,—it should never be the debased by a depraved levity, or wantonly warped from its true mission, but be made the medium through which to convey to the more ethereal portions of our nature, a delicate and purely intellectual food.
