In what blind paths, what pits of fear
Will plunge the chargers in their mad career?

Drive well, O mind, use all thy art,
Thou charioteer! – O feeling Heart,
Be thou a bridle firm and strong!
For the Lord rideth and the way is long.

It was especially easy for the poets to go for their landscapes to the painters because according to the current theory poetry was itself a form of painting (ut pictura poesis). Thus Thomson writes in The Castle of Indolence:

Sometimes the pencil, in cool airy halls,
Bade the gay bloom of vernal landskips rise,
Or autumn’s varied shades embrown the walls:
Now the black tempest strikes the astonish’d eyes;
Now down the steep the flashing torrent flies;
The trembling sun now plays o’er ocean blue,
And now rude mountains frown amid the skies;
Whate’er Lorrain light touch’d with softening hue,
Or savage Rosa dash’d, or learned Poussin drew.

    (C. I, st. 38.)

199

Disparaissez, monuments du génie,
Pares, jardins immortels, que Le Nôtre a plantés;
De vos dehors pompeux l’exacte symmétrie,
Etonne vainement mes regards attristés.
J’aime bien mieux ce désordre bizarre,
Et la variété de ces riches tableaux
Que disperse l’Anglais d’une main moins avare.

    Bertin, 19e Elégie of Les Amours.
