Chapter LIV

Text size

And this is Eloquence. 'Tis the intense,
Impassioned fervor of a mind deep fraught
With native energy, when soul and sense
Burst forth, embodied in the burning thought;
When look, emotion, tone, are all combined--
When the whole man is eloquent with mind--
A power that comes not to the call or quest,
But from the gifted soul, and the deep feeling breast.
