Mary Thacher Higginson, Thomas Wentworth Higginson: the story of his life, V: the call to preach (search)
for my particular poetical studies I never write a sentence without experiencing their benefit and look back with inexpressible satisfaction to one morning last spring when I shut Ecclesiastical History in despair (which I have often re-opened with pleasure) and rushed into the woods to read Browning's Paracelsus! . . . The Browning gospel is flourishing —my Bells and Pomegranates are half with Mr. L. [H. W. Longfellow] and half with——the former is very ardent and has agreed to try and get Ticknor & Co. to republish them, which I before attempted. Again:— I have been writing more in these two months (or six weeks) than in the previous five years—I had begun to doubt whether I should ever feel the im- pulse to write prose—now I have been manufacturing sermons and essays (to be read before the class) with the greatest readiness—all being crammed with as much thought as I can put into them. . . . I have a dozen subjects or so marked out—on all of which I have thoughts

For I am sometimes haunted with the feeling that it is too soon for any ideal treatment in America. Who reads Twice-told Tales? In 1867, Colonel Higginson translated various sonnets from Petrarch, wrote essays and short stories for the Atlantic, continued his army papers, and compiled a little book by request of Ticknor and Fields, called Child Pictures from Dickens, which was issued at the time of Dickens's second visit to this country. The summary of a single day's occupation, jotted down in the diary, illustrates the truth of Mr. A. Bronson Alcott's description of Colonel Higginson as a man of tasks. In one day he had revised a memoir for one of the numerous literary aspirants who continually sought his sympathetic aid, written a book notice and several letters, made the first draughts of two Indep
