Lydia Maria Child, Letters of Lydia Maria Child (ed. John Greenleaf Whittier, Wendell Phillips, Harriet Winslow Sewall), To Miss Anne Whitney . (search)
To Miss Anne Whitney. 1878.
You were right in your prediction about your poems.
Many of them are too metaphysical for my simple, practical mind.
I cannot soar so high, or dive so deep; so I stand looking and wondering where you have gone, like a cow watching a bird or a dolphin.
A wag said that when Emerson was in Egypt, the Sphinx said to him, You're another.
I imagine the Sphinx would address you in the same way. I find great beauty in the poems; and of those which I do not understand, I say, as was said of Madame de Stael, Would that the Pythoness were less inspired, or I more intelligent.
My favorites are the Cyba, the Yaguey, the Prospect, and Evening ; all of them, you see, characterized by the plainness of their meaning.
