influence of the more amiable affections, while our admiration of his
great qualities is chastened by the reflection that, within a few
short days the mighty being in whom they were united was himself to be
suddenly cut off in the full vigour of their exercise.
The frequent and touching allusions, interspersed throughout the
Iliad, to the speedy termination of its hero’s course, and the
moral on the vanity of human life which they indicate, are among
the finest evidences of the spirit of ethic unity by which the
whole framework of the poem is united.”—Mure, vol. i. p 201.
[300] Cowper says,—“I cannot take my leave of this noble poem without
expressing how much I am struck with the plain conclusion of it. It is
like the exit of a great man out of company, whom he has entertained
magnificently; neither pompous nor familiar; not contemptuous, yet
without much ceremony.” Coleridge, p. 227, considers the termination
of “Paradise Lost” somewhat similar.
