Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Carlyle's laugh and other surprises, chapter 13 (search)
the high cliffs shook underneath his footsteps; Three times he trod, his fourth step reached his sea-home. There was his palace in the deep sea-water, Shining with gold and builded firm forever.; And there he yoked him his swift-footed horses (Their hoofs are brazen, and theirmanes are golden) With golden thongs; his golden goad he seizes; He mounts upon his chariot and doth fly; Yea, drives he forth his steeds into the billows. The sea-beasts from the depths rise under him- They know their King: and the glad sea is parted, That so his wheels may fly along unhinder'd. Dry speeds between the waves his brazen axle:-- So bounding fast they bring him to his Grecians. Earlier than this, in his racy papers called My College days, we get another characteristic glimpse of Hale as a student. The Sunday afternoon before being examined for admission to college, he reports that he read the first six books of the Aeneid (the last six having already been mastered) at one fell swoop,--seated m

d, Mr. Bancroft's college career was a disappointment, and he was evidently regarded as a man spoiled by vanity and self-consciousness, and not commanding a strong influence over his pupils. My father wrote of these two teachers:-- Cambridge, Mass., 21 Nov., 1833. Cogswell at New York to negotiate. He is much better fitted for a City. He loves society, bustle, fashion, polish, and good living. He would do best in some Mercantile House as a partner, say to Bankers like Prime, Ward, and King. He was at first a Scholar, a Lawyer in Maine. His wife dying,sister to Dr. Nichols' wife (Gilman),--Mr. C. went abroad. Was supercargo, then a residing agent of Wm. Gray's in Europe, Holland, France, and Italy; was a good Merchant; expensive in his habits, he did not accumulate; tired of roving, he accepted the office of Librarian here. He would not manage things under control of others, and so left College and sat up Round Hill School. His partner, Bancroft,--an unsuccessful scholar,

man of fortune, handsome, indolent, as poetic as a rich young man could spare time to be, and one whose letters now help to make attractive that most amusing book, the Memoirs of Charles Godfrey Leland. There was my refined and accomplished schoolmate and chum, Charles Perkins, who trained himself in Italian art and tried rather ineffectually to introduce it into the public schools of Boston and upon the outside of the Art Museum. There was Tom Appleton, the man of two continents, and Clarence King, the explorer of this one, and a charming story-teller, by the way. Let me pause longer over one or two of these many visitors. One of them was long held the most readable of American biographers, but is now being strangely forgotten,--the most American of all transplanted Englishmen, James Parton, the historian. He has apparently dropped from our current literature and even from popular memory. I can only attribute this to a certain curious combination of strength and weakness whic
