The writings of John Greenleaf Whittier, Volume 7. (ed. John Greenleaf Whittier), Zzz Missing head (search)

is that grief assumes sublimity; it ascends with the aged yews in the churchyard; it extends with the surrounding hills and plains; it allies itself with all the effects of Nature,—with the dawning of the morning, with the murmuring of wind, with the setting of the sun, and with the darkness of the night. Not long since I took occasion to visit the cemetery near this city. It is a beautiful location for a city of the dead,—a tract of some forty or fifty acres on the eastern bank of the Concord, gently undulating, and covered with a heavy growth of forest-trees, among which the white oak is conspicuous. The ground beneath has been cleared of undergrowth, and is marked here and there with monuments and railings enclosing family lots. It is a quiet, peaceful spot; the city, with its crowded mills, its busy streets and teeming life, is hidden from view; not even a solitary farm-house attracts the eye.

Irving, Cooper, Dana, had already done this; but Longfellow followed with more varied gifts, more thorough training; the Dial writers followed in their turn, and a distinctive American literature was born, this quality reaching a climax in Thoreau, who frankly wrote, I have travelled a great deal—in Concord. And while thus Longfellow found his desire for a national literature strengthened at every point by the example of his classmate Hawthorne, so he may have learned much, though not immediately, through the warning unconsciously given by Bryant, against the perils of undue moralizing. Bryant's early poem, To a Water-Fowl, was as profound in feeling and as perfect in structure as anything of Longfellow's, up to the last verse, which some profane critic compared to a tin kettle of moraliz

The town made preparations, by appropriation and otherwise, for the celebration of the 19th of April, in this year, in conjunction with the Centennial Celebrations of the Battle of Concord and Lexington; which battle, in 1775, became a continuous one through the precincts of this town on the memorable 19th of April of that year. The day was accordingly observed as a holiday by the people of Arlington, and delegates from the town attended the celebrations which simultaneously took place in the neighboring towns. Immense throngs of people passed through the place during the day from Boston and elsewhere on their way to Lexington and Concord.

On the other hand, Granger has halted at Guy's Gap to secure the communications of the army with Murfreesborough; the cavalry occupies the environs of Shelbyville. On the 29th, in the evening, Rosecrans at last gives orders for the simultaneous advance of his three corps against Tullahoma: the Fourteenth shall take a position in the centre, at Concord; Rosecrans shall have the Twentieth on his right, and the Twenty-first, with two lines, shall support his left. On the 30th, while the army is thus forming in line under a beating rain which checks its movements, strong reconnoitring-parties, composed of Bradley's and Steedman's brigades, together with two regiments detached by Reynolds and Negley, advance on the different routes which lead to Tullahoma and the banks of Elk River. They soon run against Forrest's cavalry, which Bragg, unea
