Bautimore, June r9th, 1890. Editor of Jupce—Dear sir: ‘The illustration in the current number of JUDGE entitled “A successful raid” recalls to mind some lines written by a Virginia poet thirty-five years ago, which, though not_intende the author to be so, are very funny. At the same time “A successful raid” is a strikingly apt illustration of the poct’s fancy, which so strangely mingles the sublime and the ridiculous that when you have once read the verse you will hardly forget it. “The lines are as follows “Forth from the lap of adverse fortune ‘Came the maleficient porcupine of woe ; Leaped thro’ the star-gem'd canopy of spac ‘And rolled in desolating fury through Stuck on his goads the jewels of the Fears, ‘And sank with all into a sea of tears.” Of course the lines are quoted from long-distance memory, and some words may be misplaced or changed ; but they came up spontaneously when the performances of the porcupine as delineated by your artist in “*A suc- cessful raid" met my eyes, and f can but regret that the limner did not have them to accompany the illus- tration, I do not suppose the artist ever heard of the poem of which the quotation above is the beginning, though he must be familiar with the prudential quali- ties attributed by some writers to the ‘fretful porcu- pine.” Among my youthful associates, the Virginia poet was often taken to task about his ‘' maleficient porcupine of woe,” but he defended the creation as a proper figure, and claimed the use of it in this way was legitimate and gave a poetic turn to a fact from natural history. ‘The evil-doing porcupine ‘‘comes forth" in the poem as in the ‘Successful raid ;" he ‘rolls in desolating fury ;" he sticks on his goads the fallen fruits —jewels of the year, as the poet styles them—and he rubs them off by going into his hole, where he is sup- posed by the poet to sink into ‘*a sea of tears.” only difference between the idea of the artist and the poet is that one makes a joyful, triumphant performance, the other a doleful ditty. In details the two are remark- ably alike. Yours truly, W. E. Foarn, UTUAL THE BEST UFE INSURANCE AT THE LEAST COST. MODERN METHODS. Home OrFice.
