Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Letters and Journals of Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Chapter 2: the Worcester period (search)
ed with absolute truth, and so graceful in beauty; though there is never any artistic wholeness in his Essays; they are a series of exquisite sentences; and yet more than this I value for you that noble calmness, gentleness, courage, and freedom; and that pure air and unflinching moral heroism which make him the very strongest teacher for the moral nature that this generation has given. I know this by its fruits, in myself and my contemporaries.... You said you had never read Bettina [von Arnim]: I hope you will get the book; for it needs, perhaps, to be read early; I have enjoyed it more and get more out of her than I ever did from Goethe, and I am never tired of her books, though it is painful to think of her, because her life seemed exhausted in that early flowering. It is touching to see how small she thought herself beside the great man, and yet she is as much a part of the universe as he and could be as little replaced by another. July 10, 1859 Dearest Mother: Emerson
