Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Women and Men, chapter 54 (search)
d we do with Dibdin's chorus — if Dibdin's it was- Anna, Anne, Nan, Nance, and Nancy, if we have to stretch the line far enough to bring in Annie and Nancie also? Yet, after all, what we call old-fashioned spelling in these cases is not really the oldest. In old English books we find the words now ending in y to end usually in ie-a form which we still preserve in their plurals-and may note in successive editions the gradual substitution, for instance, of philanthropy for philanthropie. Chaucer has flie for fly, and folie for folly. Y superseded ie by an unconscious tendency some two centuries ago; and now, in case of the familiar names of both sexes, this tendency is being unconsciously and very gradually reversed. It is only a few years since Sallie began to be substituted for Sally; Mollie has hardly yet achieved its position; and Nancy still holds out, though sure to yield to Nancie. Among men's names the influence is as inevitable, though more slowly exerted, Willie and C

Thomas Wentworth Higginson, John Greenleaf Whittier, Chapter 11: early loves and love poetry (search)
S. Porter, It is a perfect poem; in some of his descriptions of scenery and wild flowers, he would rank with Wordsworth. It interprets the associations around him and the dreams of the long past as neither Longfellow, nor Lowell, nor Holmes, could have done it; the very life of life in love-memories in the atmosphere where he was born and dwelt. Many a pilgrim has sought the arbutus at Follymill or listened to the pines on Ramoth Hill with as much affection as he would seek the haunts of Chaucer; and has felt anew the charm of the association, the rise and fall of the simple music, the skill of the cadence, the way the words fall into place, the unexplained gift by which this man who could scarcely tell one tune from another on the piano became musical by instinct when innocent early memories swayed him. Note that in the whole sixteen verses the great majority of the words are monosyllables; observe how the veeries sing themselves into the line ; and how the moaning of the sea of

, and its monthly meetings and annual dinners were among her pet pleasures. She was always ready to drop into rhyme in its service, the Muse in cap and bells being oftenest invoked: e.g., the verses written for the five hundredth anniversary of Chaucer's death:--poet Chaucer had a sister, he, the wondrous melodister. she did n't write no poems, oh, no! brother Geoffrey trained her so. ; honored by the poet's crown, her posterity came down. ages of ancestral birth went for all that they were Chaucer had a sister, he, the wondrous melodister. she did n't write no poems, oh, no! brother Geoffrey trained her so. ; honored by the poet's crown, her posterity came down. ages of ancestral birth went for all that they were worth.

Perhaps it is not generally recognized how much more abundant was this sort of thing forty years ago than now, and how it moulded the very temperaments of those who were born into it, and grew up under it. Byron had as much to do with creating it as any one in England; but more probably it goes back to Rousseau in France; hardly, I should think to Petrarch, to whom Lowell is disposed to attribute it, and who certainly exerted very little influence in the way of sentimentality on his friend Chaucer. But the Byronic atmosphere certainly spread to Germany, as may be seen by the place conceded to that poet in Goethe's Faust; although Goethe's Werther, and Schiller's Die Rauber showed that the tendency itself was at one time indigenous everywhere. In England, Bulwer and the younger Disraeli aimed to be prose Byrons; and in Moore and Mrs. Hemans, followed by Mrs. Norton and L. E. L., we see the sentimental spirit in successive degrees of dilution. All the vocal music of forty or fifty
