THE PAST, THE PRESENT, AND THE FUTURE.
The same object, seen from the three different points of view—the Past, the Present, and the Future—often exhibits three different faces to us; like those sign boards over shop doors which represent the face of a lion as we approach, of a man when we are in front, and of an ass when we have passed.—Longfellow's Kavanagh.
In character, in manners, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is, simplicity.—Ibid.
The Paris periodical entitled La Revue des Deux Mondes for April last contains two articles relating to the United States; one of them being Reminiscences of an Emigrant, and the other a review of Longfellow's "Evangeline."
In the last-named article Professor Longfellow is called "the most original and the most remarkable of American poets," and his knowledge of the Icelandic and Danish languages is complimented in terms equally extravagant.
The romantic poem entitled The New Timon which was lately published anonymously, has been acknowledged by Mr. Bulwer to be from his own pen.
