Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Margaret Fuller Ossoli, Chapter 5: finding a friend. (search)
tained with men, and yet made it a matter of conscience to keep all these intimacies apart from one another. She writes once to Emerson (July 5, 1840): Do not think, because persons are intimate with me, that they know this or any of my other friends' secrets: I know how to keep relations. Ms. What was her ideal of such a tie may be seen from this passage, written to one of those nearest to her in sympathy, and dissenting both from his and from Emerson's definitions of friendship:-- July, 1841. The more I think of it, the more deeply do I feel the imperfection of your view of friendship, which is the same Waldo E. takes in that letter on Charles's death. It is very noble, but not enough for our manifold nature. Our friends should be our incentives to Right, but not only our guiding, but our prophetic stars. To love by right is much, to love by faith is more; both are the entire love, without which heart, mind, and soul cannot be alike satisfied. We love and ought to love

of little bits of verse, which I confess to you, sub rosa rosissima, are mine. Now, I don't think myself made for a poet, least of all for an amatory poet. So, if you throw the lines under the grate, in your critical wisdom, I shall not be grieved, vexed, or ruffled; for, though I have enough of the irritabile in my composition, I have none of the irritabile vatis. Weiss's Parker, II. 303. These distrusted love verses were, as I learn from Mr. G. W. Cook, those printed in the Dial for July, 1841, under the name of Protean wishes. Dial, II. 77. Besides these well-known contributors, she also applied to other literary friends, whose response apparently never came. Among them was her old friend at Providence, Albert G. Greene, then the recognized head of the literary society of that city. To him she writes, October 2, 1840: Where are the poems and essays, Pumpkin Monodies, and Militia Musters, we were promised? Send them, I pray, forthwith. These were humorous poems, in whic

rable points, but she really gives the condensed essence of criticism. She seems to me to have been, in the second place, the best literary critic whom America has yet seen. Her friend Ripley, who succeeded her in the Tribune and held such sway for many years, was not, in the finer aspects of the art, to be compared with Margaret Fuller. Passing from her single phrases and obiter dicta to her continuous criticisms, I should name her second paper on Goethe in the Dial; Dial, II. I (July, 1841, reprinted in Life without and life within, p. 23). as ranking next to that on Mackintosh; and should add, also, her essay on Modern British poets in Papers on literature and Art; and the dialogue between Aglauron and Laurie in the same volume. In this last there are criticisms on Wordsworth which go deeper, I venture to think, than anything Lowell has written on the same subject. I do not recall any other critic on this poet who has linked together the poems A complaint and the sonnet b
