Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Book and heart: essays on literature and life, Chapter 14: a disturbed christmas (search)
means; systematizes everything. We began the war in vast confusion; when we end it all will be system. Emerson in Concord, by his son, p. 89. There is nothing in Judge Holmes's oration which goes quite so far as this. Yet this is the writer whom Matthew Arnold, denying him the name of poet and philosopher, proclaimed as the friend and comforter of those who would live in the spirit. We are left in the conclusion that there are two aspects of everything, and that good comes sometimes of things evil. Read the one poem which has made Bayard Taylor's name immortal, A song of the camp, and consider the peculiar beauty and pathos of this flower of human love in the midst of cannon. War might well seem what Horace Bushnell called it, the devil's play, but for these loftier aspects. We must never quite lose sight of Emerson's fine lines: Though love repine and reason chafe, There came a voice without reply- 'Tis man's perdition to be safe When for the truth he ought to die. 1896
