A Picture By S.R. Gifford, And Owned By E.B. Included In The N.A. Exhibition, April, 1865. All Feeling Hearts Must Feel For Him Who Felt This Picture. Presage Dim - Dim Inklings From The Shadowy Sphere Fixed Him And Fascinated Here. A Demon-Cloud Like The Mountain One Burst On A Spirit As Mild As This Urned Lake, The Home Of Shades. But Shakspeare'S Pensive Child Never The Lines Had Lightly Scanned, Steeped In Fable, Steeped In Fate; The Hamlet In His Heart Was 'Ware, Such Hearts Can Antedate. No Utter Surprise Can Come To Him Who Reaches Shakspeare'S Core; That Which We Seek And Shun Is There - Man'S Final Lore.
