occasion; his career from the moment he landed has been one long intellectual triumph. It seems more like the Chronicle of the Cid than any more modern story— a prolonged tournament in which the victor is always the same. And after meeting Thoreau:— In Concord I went to see Thoreau; he is more human and polite than I supposed, and said he had heard Mr. Emerson speak of me; he is a little bronzed spare man; he makes lead pencils with his father on Monday and Tuesday and was in the miThoreau; he is more human and polite than I supposed, and said he had heard Mr. Emerson speak of me; he is a little bronzed spare man; he makes lead pencils with his father on Monday and Tuesday and was in the midst of work. On other days he surveys land, both mathematically and meditatively; lays out houselots in Haverhill and in the moon. He talks sententiously and originally; his manner is the most unvarying facsimile of Mr. Emerson's, but his thoughts are quite his own. . . .He does not seem particularly affected by applause, but rather by his own natural egotism. I find nobody who enjoys his book as I do (this I did not tell him). . . . I saw his mother, a gaunt and elderly Abolitionist who had

my parishioners and friends may not think it my own extravagance, in these hard times.

Another diversion was found in long walks, in which Mr. Higginson was sometimes accompanied by H. G. O. Blake, Thoreau's friend and biographer, and occasionally by Thoreau himself. On some of these expeditions he collected birds' eggs: If you only take one or two, he wrote, the bThoreau himself. On some of these expeditions he collected birds' eggs: If you only take one or two, he wrote, the birds are not troubled. There is no form of re-creation so wonderful to me as this of eggs. That all the flashing splendor of the oriole, all the magnificent melody of the red thrush, should be coiled within these tiny and fragile walls. He officiated as president of an athletic club, exercising regularly in the gymnasium, hims

29, 1894:— Emily has arrived. They sent her to Sever's book store where I rarely go and where she might have hid forever in a cupboard . . . . It is extraordinary how the mystic and bizarre Emily is born at once between two pages . . . as Thoreau says summer passes to autumn in an instant. All after that is the E. D. I knew. But how is it possible to reconcile her accounts of early book reading . . . with the yarns (O! irreverence) she told me about their first books, concealed from here of ground beautifully situated above the lake. We begin building this autumn. These bits of Dublin life are from the diaries:— June 12, 1891. Began thoroughly to enjoy the primitive forest feeling. Felt that conscious happiness which Thoreau describes—every little pine needle seeming to stretch toward me. There was a feeling as of late summer in the air and the crickets' incessant chirp seemed saturated with happiness. It was enough simply to live and look round on the trees I love<
