204 makes us at a los to determine whether it is reminicence or ratiocination, lot ight of in its celerity, that opens the dark cloud. Over thoe intantaneous aociations we have little power; for when the mind is once enlarged by excurive flights, or profound reflection, the raw materials will, in ome degree, arrange themelves. The undertanding, it is true, may keep us from going out of drawing when we group our thoughts, or trancribe from the imagination the warm ketches of fancy; but the animal pirits, the individual character, give the colouring. Over this ubtile electric fluid, how little power do we poes, and over it how little power can reaon obtain! Thee fine intractable pirits appear to be the eence of genius, and beaming in its eagle eye, produce in the mot eminent degree the happy energy of aociating thoughts that urprie, delight, and intruct. Thee are the glowing minds that concentrate pictures for their fellow-creatures; forcing them to view with interet the objects reflected from the impaioned imagination, which they paed over in nature.

I mut be allowed to explain myelf. The generality of people cannot ee or feel poetically, they want fancy, and therefore fly from olitude in earch of enible objects; but when an author lends them his eyes they can ee as he aw, and be amued by images they could not elect, though lying before them.
