There is a source of enjoyment in words not listened to
by others. In recitations, – and soliloquies, – in vivâ voce
composition – in reading alone when no one is present but
the reader. For if the art of chasing grief is but the be often unsuccessfully practised by in
supplanting thoughts of grief with by thoughts less painful – the
instrument of language will often sometimes prove a valuable auxiliary.
And it frequently happens when our own mind is unable
to furnish ideas of pleasure with which to drive out the
impressions of pain – these ideas may be found in the writings
of others, & those writings will frequently often probably have a
more potent influence when utterance is given to them.
To a mind rich in the stores of literature & philosophy
some thought appropriate to the calming of sorrow – or
the brightening of joy, will scarcely fail to present
itself clothed in the attractive language of some
favorite writer – and when emphatic expression is given
to it, its power may be considerably increased. Poetry
often lends itself to this benignant purpose, & where
sound & sense, – truth & harmony – benevolence &
eloquence are allied, – happy indeed are their influences.
