Excerpt from The Poets and Peoples of Foreign Lands Such is Spain, of whose folk-poetry the first paper in this volume treats. Such, too, were the Moors, of whose poetry the Spanish is but a fainter echo. While cases like these are exceptional, every people, however humble or obscure, who are bound to gether by a common tongue (though it be but a patoz's), a common origin, and common interests, can boast of a poet among themselves who has sung their local ballads and traditions, and thrown a halo of poetry round the simple pleasures and sorrows, fears and aspirations, that make up the drama of their life.
