_Passage in Gray_ (Vol. i., p. 150.).--I see no difficulty in the passage

about which your correspondent; A GRAYAN inquires. The _abode_ of the

merits and frailties of the dead, _i.e._ the place in which they are

treasured up until the Judgment, is the Divine mind. This the poet, by a

very allowable figure, calls "Bosom." Homer's expression is somewhat

analogous.

[Greek: "Tade panta theion en gounasi keitai."]
