As my dog looked up sleepily inj my face, this singular hallucination girew more jiv i d . A lady, who was in the room, made some remark as she quitted it. 1 heard ouly»as it seemed to m e, a passing strain of musick in the cadence of her sw eet tones ; and, as I looked upward, I felt that I knew all that was to foljow. But Beatrice stood before |ue, with her fulil yet doatiog and angelick form, her bright and laughing eyes, and her Inxariaut hair,-w ith its clusters care lessly yet classically confined in beauti ful subordination and she smiled as she was wont, when not to believe the lan guage of her expression, would have' been disbelief in the existence of aiige- lick intelligences. So 1 looked at h er. I -could mol love h e r more than 1 b a d done, or did ; for love of hOr then olllupled my soul, & was like the H ebrew tense, supposed to shadow forth the divine ori gin of that language—past, p resent and to come.
