AUTHORS OF QUOTATIONS WANTED. Th< first ten are all before 1709 :

1. In marriage are two happy things allowed A wife in wedding sheets and in a shroud. How can a marriage state then be accursed, Since the last day s as happy as the first ?

[13. From Euripides, ' Hippolytus,' 612. J Some lines describing the soul when released from the limitations of the body end with the words : Whate'er on her horizon doth appear, She is one orb of sense all eye, all touch, all ear. Who wrote them ? EZTAKJT.

Tears are the oldest and the commonest Of all things upon Earth, and yet how new !

The tale each time told by them how unblessed Were lips' hard way without their heavenly dew !

Joy borrows them from Grief ; Faith trembles lest She lose them ; even Hope herself smiles through

The rainbow they make round her as they fall,

And Death, that cannot weep, lets weeping all.

WlLLOUGHBY MAYCOCK.

Winding 'neath rocks impending, and o'er steeps Dread in their awful solitude, the road Leads through a pass whose grandeur is a load

Upon the awestruck mind : the wild Reuss sweeps

From precipice to chasm, where it keeps Boiling and fretting till it throws abroad Mist clouds : then, chafed and flying from its goal,

Like fiery steeds, o'er crag and crevice leaps.

The Reuss is a river in Switzerland.

I hope that some one may soon be able

to give me a clue to the lines " 'Tis only in

the land of fairy dreams " about which/ 1

EDWARD LATHAM.

In Henry Drummond's ' Pax Vobiscum, p. 259, are the following words :

"We grow up at random, carrying into mature life the merely animal methods and motives which we had as little children. And it does not occur to us that all this must be changed, that much of it must be reversed, that life is the finest of the Fine Arts," &c.

In ' John Inglesant ' I find on p. 74, vol. ii., " We can make life a fine art." &c. Can any reader of * N. & Q.' tell me whether the idea originated with Drummond or with J. H. Shorthouse ?

I also wish to learn the author of these lines :

But the man himself with his mind and heart To the Holy City must make a start, Ere he find in his hand the mystic clue Which will guide him in safety the whole world through.

These words are given from memory, and may not be correctly quoted.
