Synopsis
Excerpt from Chat About Celebrities: Or the Story of a Book
The author who portrays characters so vividly as to cause us to see them play their parts like real men and women instead of mere creatures of imagination, arous ing indignation at the record of their wrongs or our sympathy for their woes, and filling our hearts with joy at their success, must, we often imagine, be different from ordinary mortals.
We are anxious, also, to see if the poet whose grand thoughts excite universal admiration, or whose sweet and simple lays touch the inmost chords of the human heart, does in his ordinary converse with men and women appear like other people, and whether those grand thoughts or beautiful sentiments flow as freely from his lips in ordinary intercourse as in his published volumes.
