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.
