Matthew 7:20

ἀπὸ τῶν καρπῶν κ.τ.λ. Re-echoed by a beautiful poetical figure from Matthew 7:16. See Jebb’s Sacred Lit. p. 195–197. The well-known lines of Dryden, ‘What passion cannot music raise and quell’; and those of Southey in a passage beginning and ending ‘How beautiful is night!’ are quoted in illustration.
