And the feeling was just, for of all pictures of subjects not visibly involving human pain, this is, I believe, the most pathetic that was ever painted. The utmost pensiveness which can ordinarily be given to a landscape depends on adjuncts of ruin : but no ruin was ever so affecting as this gliding of the vessel to her grave.
