Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Field, Eugene 1850-1895 (search)
Field, Eugene 1850-1895 Poet; born in St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 2, 1850; was educated at Williams and Knox colleges, and at the University of Missouri; studied abroad, and on his return to the United States entered journalism. He was on the editorial staff of several newspapers in Kansas City and St. Louis, and on the Denver Tribune. Later he moved to Chicago, and in 1883 became a member of the editorial staff of the Chicago Daily news, in which his poem entitled Sharps and Flats was first published. His poems for children are admirable for their simplicity. His Wynken, Blynken and nod; Little boy Blue; Intry-Mintry, and other poems for little folks are widely known. His other works comprise Love songs of childhood; A little book of Western verse; A second book of verse; The Holy cross and other tales; With trumpet and drum, and the unfinished work, The love affair of a Bibliomaniac. He died in Chicago, Nov. 4, 1895.

He is superior also in technical dexterity, in variety of rhythm, and in fertility of rhyme. His feeling is more spontaneous, his sentiment more abundant and finer in feeling. He can when he chooses hint at the tear which trembles above the lips that seem to smile. There is warrant for the wide popularity of his Little boy blue, in which the pathos is pure and tender, without any taint of mawkish sentimentality. Only a little narrower in its appeal is Old times, old friends, old Loves. Field's command of sentiment is so certain that he can impart true feeling even to stanzas as frolicsome and as rollicking as those which delight us in Apple Pie and Cheese. The youngest of these three younger practitioners of familiar verse, Henry Cuyler Bunner, could also be broadly comic; he had an ample outlook on literature and on life; and he was truly a poet, who won a memorable position among our lyrists by lyrics of a loftier flight than mere comic verse. His lyre was a winged instrum

eous cry of pleasure broke forth from men and women that almost amounted to a shout, and I stood and received the congratulations that thereupon came in, so wrought up by my own playing with (hidden) thoughts, that I could but smile mechanically, and make stereotyped returns to the pleasant sayings, what time my heart worked falteringly, like a mouth that is about to cry. Two weeks later he wrote: I have writ the most beautiful piece Field-larks and Blackbirds, wherein I have mirrored Mr. Field-lark's pretty eloquence so that I doubt he would know the difference betwixt the flute and his own voice. In the summer he confessed to Hayne: Are you, by the way, a musician? Strange, that I have never before asked this question,—when so much of my own life consists of music. I don't know that I've ever told you, that whatever turn I have for art is purely musical; poetry being, with me, a mere tangent into which I shoot sometimes. I could play passably on several instruments befor

ugene field, vol. II., p. 120. Among many lullabies, Christmas hymns, and lyrics of infant mortality, the playful side of Field's genius is sufficiently represented by imitations of Old English ballads, echoes of Horatian themes, a few rollicking nutical, and literary gossip cleverly versified. A bit of flippancy like The little Peach of Emerald hue goes to show that Field's humour could on occasion conquer the sentimental strain in him. But only too often his children die from the fatal effects of contact with the angels. In his more ambitious pieces Field not infrequently falls into an over-refinement and false simplicity of style. When not too consciously doing his best, however, nothing could seem more effortless than the easy advocated by liberals and bitterly opposed by conservatives. Illustrative of the conservative view were the words of Justice Field in the decision by which the Federal income tax law of 1894 was declared unconstitutional: The present assault upon c
