The power of sympathizing with an)" character is the partial possession of that character for ourselves. A man who is capable of having his soul bowed by the stormy thunder of Beethoven, or lifted to heaven by the etherial melody of Mendelsshon, is a musician, though he never composed a bar. The man who recognizes and feels the grandeur of the organ music of "Paradise Lost" has some fibre of a poet in him, though he be but; a " mute inglorious Milton."

(Dr. Maclaren.)
