Index | pg. 69 |Previous Page - Next Page He is a poet ...He is a poet whom it may require a certain amount of animal spirits to relish thoroughly. The _air_ of his verse must agree with you before you can perceive all its freshness and vitality. But if read with any thing like Italian sympathy, with allowance for times and manners, and with a _sense_ as well as _admittance_ of the different kinds of the beautiful in poetry (two very different things), you will be almost as much charmed with the "divine Ariosto" as his countrymen have been for ages.[Footnote 1: The materials for this notice have been chiefly collected from the poet's own writings (rich in autobiographical intimation) and from his latest editor Panizzi. I was unable to see this writer's principal authority, Baruffaldi, till I corrected the proofs and the press was waiting; otherwise I might have added two or three more particulars, not, however, of any great consequence. Panizzi is, as usual, copious and to the purpose; and has, for the first time I believe, critically proved the regularity and connectedness of Ariosto's plots, as well as the hollowness of the pretensions of the house of Este to be considered patrons of literature. It is only a pity that his _Life of Ariosto is_ not better arranged. I have, of course, drawn my own conclusions respecting particulars, and sometimes have thought I had reason to differ with those who have preceded me; but not, I hope, with a presumption unbecoming a foreigner.] [Footnote 2: See in his Latin poems the lines beginning, "Haec me verbosas suasit perdiscere leges." _De Diversis Amoribus._] [Footnote 3: Index | pg. 69 |Previous Page - Next Page Italy Hotels - Italy Hostels - Italy Sights ................................................................
