NOTE. Mr. Pope. ON ORIGNAL GENIUS. IN a public paper, which indelicacy, can never taint or party fpirit in fect, the candid reader mull enjoy i jnoft Angular pleafure in observing the innocent efiays of young and afpiring minds. w :, In the warm aimofpherc.. of a, , man of genius, often fail the warm and fa lutary ihewers of knowledge while in tiir heated climate of a literary enthuli afl are engendered (from noxious va pours) lightnings, volcanos, and all the: terribles and diitractablss in na- 1 ture. It is fiirpriang to obferve how in feme men genius Hows like a river, and from others ruflies like a torient how in fome it burns clear like a lamp, and in others; flafhcs and twinkles like a meteor. As clouds are exhaled from the earth', and never fail in lhowers till they have obtained a certain con fiitency in the air Iq ought our thoughts to be. exhaled from real life, and never to fall fr. m us, till they become foiid and' connected. As the trealurcs of the earth are fought in the veins and windings of the min?, fo in .the mine and labrynth of our thoughts ought we to feck the iilver and gold of knowledge. The cold, phlegmatic moralift, may., like the fpider, fucSc.a poifon even from the rofr, while the mrre-liberal fon of fcience taftes a fweet from ever- flower in the tarden of genius. Infinite are our fources of knowledge, infinite, our modes of improving it. , Novels, romances .and plays, are like rivers, which wind and meander till they lofe themfelves in their ccurfc. Hiitories are like great public roads. Every . lchnlsr xmift pals through them even in hs common refearch:s.
