Frank Preston Stearns, Cambridge Sketches, Lowell (search)
under his guidance could not have been found in England, and perhaps not in the whole of Europe; but it could not be made to pay, and two years later Phillips & Sampson failed,--partly on that account, and partially the victims of a piratical opposition. Lowell published Emerson's Brahma in spite of the shallow ridicule with which he foresaw it would be greeted; but when Emerson sent him his Song of nature he returned it on account of the single stanza: One in a Judaean manger, And one by Avon stream, One over against the mouths of Nile, And one in the Academe. which he declared was more than the Atlantic could be held responsible for. Emerson, who really knew little as to what the public thought of him, was for once indignant. He said: I did not know who had constituted Mr. Lowell my censor, and I carried the verses to Miss Caroline Hoar, who read them and said, that she considered those four lines the best in the piece.

Or what the loveliness of Illysus or Avon by the Connecticut or the Potomack?-Whenever a nation wills it, prodigies are born. Admiration and patronage create myriads who struggle for the mastery, and for the olympick crown. Encourage the game and the victors will come.

He entered the office of Loammi Baldwin at Charlestown, and remained there a number of years.
