Frank Preston Stearns, Cambridge Sketches, Lowell (search)
s White was herself a poetess, and full of poetical impulse to the brim. Maria would seem to have been born in the White family as Albinos appear in Africa, --for the sake of contrast. She shone like a single star in a cloudy sky,--a pale, slender, graceful girl, with eyes, to use Herrick's expression, like a crystal glasse. A child was born where she did not belong, and Lowell was the chivalrous knight who rescued her. It must have been Maria White who made an Emersonian of him. Margaret Fuller had stirred up the intellectual life of New England women to a degree never known before or since, and Miss White was one of those who came within the scope of her influence. Lowell himself speaks of her as being considered transcendental. She studied German, and translated poems from Uhland, who might be called the German Longfellow. Certain it is that from the time of their marriage his opinions not only changed from what they had been previously, but his ideas of poetry, philos

ever, did not take place at once, and when Emerson's Nature was published, Cranch was at first repelled by the peculiarity of its style. At the house of Rev. James Freeman Clark, in Cincinnati, he drew some innocently satirical illustrations of it. One was of a man with an enormous eye under which he wrote: I became one great transparent eye-ball ; and another was a pumpkin with a human face, beneath which was written: We expand and grow in the sunshine. In another sketch Emerson and Margaret Fuller were represented driving over hill and dale in a rockaway. Sanborn's Life of Alcott. He would make these humorous sketches to entertain his friends at any time, seizing on a half-sheet of paper, or whatever might be at hand; but he did not long continue to caricature Emerson. His first volume of poetry, published in 1844, was dedicated to Emerson, and in Dwight's Translations from Goethe and Schiller, there are a number of short pieces by Cranch, almost perfect in their renderin

it was not very different in general tenor from Lowell's; although his Yankee shrewdness would seem to have preserved him from serious catastrophes. In the Autocrat of the breakfast table Doctor Holmes mentions an early acquaintance with Margaret Fuller, which is not referred to by Mr. Morse, but must have arisen either at Mrs. Prentiss's Boston school or at the Cambridgeport school which young Oliver afterwards attended. Even at that age he recognized Margaret's intellectual gifts, and hying on the teacher's desk, and felt quite crest-fallen by discovering a word in it which he did not know the meaning of. This word was trite; and it may be suspected that a good many use it without being aware of its proper significance. Margaret Fuller rose to celebrity with the spontaneity of true genius, and left her name high upon the natural bridge of American literature. Holmes did not come before the public until years after her death; and then perhaps it might not have happened but

losophy and politics,--and in these Mrs. Howe felt herself very much at home. On another occasion, when a member of the club said that he was prepared, like Emerson, to accept the universe, Mrs. Howe interposed with the remark that it was Margaret Fuller who accepted the universe; she was not aware that the universe had been offered to Emerson. She said this because Margaret Fuller was a woman. Once, when writing for the newspapers was under discussion, Mrs. Howe remarked that in that kMargaret Fuller was a woman. Once, when writing for the newspapers was under discussion, Mrs. Howe remarked that in that kind of composition one felt prescribed like St. Simeon Stylites by the limitations of the column. One of the best of her witty poems describes Boston on a rainy day, and is called Expluvior, an innocent parody on Longfellow's Excelsior, which, by the way, ought to have been called Excelsius. The butcher came a walking flood, Drenching the kitchen where he stood. Deucalion, is your name? I pray. Moses, he choked and slid away. Expluvior is one of the most characteristic verses; but in t

cs, and so fluent in Greek that to the end of his life he could read it with ease. He did not wait for graduation. In May, 1826, the Groton Academy suddenly wanted a teacher, and Elizur Wright was invited to take the position. The college faculty sent him his degree a month later,--which they might not have done if they had known how little he cared for it. In his school at Groton was a pretty, dark-eyed girl named Susan Clark, who, for two years previously, had been at school with Margaret Fuller and was very well acquainted with her. Elizur Wright became interested in Miss Clark, and three years later they were married. One day, while he was living at Groton, Mr. Wright went by the Boston stage to Fitchburg, and on his return held a long conversation with a fellow-passenger, a tall, slender young man with aquiline features, who gave his name as Ralph Waldo Emerson. Mr. Wright found him an exceedingly interesting gentleman, but of so fragile an appearance that it seemed imp

meat and drink to them. P-- and I were invited to dine by an American Catholic lady who was formerly a friend of Margaret Fuller, and who having been incautiously left in Rome by her husband, embraced Catholicism before he was fairly across the like a vision on a gloomy winter day, while she was looking into the embers of a wood-fire. Then she talked about Margaret Fuller, whom she called the most brilliant woman she had ever known. She had never loved another woman so much; but it waid, had all the effect of flattery without being intended for it, and was so much the more mischievous. Emerson and Margaret Fuller, said Mrs. X-- , put inspiration in the place of religion. They believed that some people had direct communication with the Almighty. P — and I thought this might be true of Miss Fuller, but doubted it in Emerson's case. Miss X-- told me that she had lately ascended to the rotunda of the Capitol, from which the pope's flag flies all day, and that she had ask
