Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Letters and Journals of Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Chapter 1: Cambridge and Newburyport (search)
low; and even my friends feel grave when they look forward and fancy a gradual procession of staunch members retiring one by one, leaving at last a dozen come-outers in the gallery and one more in the pulpit. My (masculine) supporters are in a numerical minority and a woeful pecuniary minority, and there is a general opinion that Mr. Higginson ought to know the state of affairs. No one was, however, willing to take that office . . .. but kind old Mr. Wood (with a heart divided between General Taylor and me) came at last voluntarily and told the whole story; which, indeed, had been previously bursting upon us for a day or two. It was evident to me at once, on cross-examining him, that the case was hopeless; that the other storm had blown over, but this would not .... Well — the end of it is that instead of waiting longer to give my six-months notice, we have resolved to give it on the anniversary, a week from next Sunday... bid adieu to Essex Street, pack our bulky goods in a l

at these people are ignorant or recluse; they have much intercourse with people, especially with Philadelphia; the young people are well educated, and all take the Atlantic. One feels in cultivated society. Aunt Nancy will like to hear that Bayard Taylor originated there and is now building a house there; I saw his father's house; also that of John Agnew, where his beautiful bride lived and died.

Mrs. Howe is tedious. To-day grim and disagreeable, though not without power; Love and skates [Theodore Winthrop] trashy and second-rate; and Bayard Taylor below plummet-sounding of decent criticism. His mediocre piece had a certain simplicity and earnestness, but this seems to me only fit for the Ledger in its decline. I could only raise one smile over the Biglow ( rod, perch, or pole ), but

t. The pine was Shelley's one vast pine ; the rocks were those where Mignon's serpents cowered; the lake was the gloomy Mummelsee where the enchanted lily maidens dwell; the pine woods were such as Sterling describes in his Woodland mountains, where all grand ideal shapes go by. Yet it was all in the suburbs of Boston and I was nineteen. It takes time and the long years to saturate every locality with romance and tenderness, but we are doing it slowly and surely in this dear America of ours. To a literary fame, death comes like the leaves in Alice's adventures, by eating which one suddenly grew tall or short. How instantaneously Bayard Taylor's shrunk when he died; when he went to Berlin he had a series of parting fetes as if he were a leader in literature; the moment he died he became an insignificant figure. It was equally instantaneous with Willis and Tuckerman, before him. ... On the other hand, Hawthorne, Thoreau, and even Poe, suddenly rose in dimensions. The End
