his friend has however had a happier effect on his mind than the more
impassioned nature of that of the lover of Laura produced: yet a kindred
feeling, of spiritual communion with the lost one, pervades both poets;
and this might have been the motto of Mr. Tenyson's volume:--

"Levommi il mio pensiero in parte ov' era
Quello eh' io cerco, e non ritrovo in terra;
... in questa spera
Sarai ancor meco, s' el desir non erra."

Foscolo has remarked that "when a great poet describes his own heart,
his picture of _Love_ will draw tears from the eyes of every sensitive
mortal in every age." And no one can read these effusions of deepfelt
virtuous affection without emotions of a happy tendency.
