Thoughts and Fancies on Love HE late Dr. Richard Gamett, an Englishman, was given to meditation on the tender passion. His communings with Cupid took the concrete form of 360 paragraphs—put forth diffidently and with privacy, at first, but afterward issued in the form of a little book, with a Latin title and a Greck motto, that has gone through three editions in England, and is now republished in this country by Thomas B. Mosher. It was in the fall that Dr. Gay- nett’s fancies lightly turned to thoughts of love; the first two hundred thoughts of hi: “De Flagello Myrtco,” it appears, were written between September 14 and vember 9—a poor record fora space-writer, but a pretty good one for a nonprofessional with an ancient theme.

Eros did in one respect fail in his duty to Psyche: he gave her gems and pearls, scarves and zones, odors, un- guents, kisses and embraces without number; but he never gave her anything to forgive. Joy to forgive and joy to be forgiven Hang level in the balances of Love. id can tame lions, but not himself, She who puts up her lips to be kissed, would give, she who puts them down, would receive. Woman's emotion was ever more intense than man’s, but until lately, with rare exceptions, her powers of ex to give it voice and the poct is beginning to pale before the poctess. ‘There is no Virtue but is both a teacher and a learner in the school of Love Psyche with her fault, and partly because of her fault, s the embodiment of ternal Feminine, es: Woman in her frailty and hee divin ‘The secret speech of Love and Love would be silence were it not mus It is a moot point whether it be sweeter to hear from you know, or what you do not ki nd Purity never encountered, ‘Tender- ess had never come into the world Seen by himself, re appears the least well-favored of the Gods; but when he is in Love's company, the two can hardly be distinguished. 30-35 H.
