Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Letters and Journals of Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Chapter 1: Cambridge and Newburyport (search)
ked out of Boston at 6 P. M. with John Hopper (Mrs. Child's and Levi's friend), but he appeared not, being lost in Cambridgeport lanes, we supposed. I was sorry, for J. R. L. says he is a charming person to know, so simple and natural and fresh. . . . Nevertheless it was a pleasant evening. I wanted to become acquainted with Mrs. Putnam, but Mr. Longfellow stood in the way — between two such linguists one yet imperfect in his Swedish has no chance. Maria Lowell is not less lovely than Maria White, however, and I so seldom emerge from my cell that it was agreeable; there are so seldom gatherings of intellectual people here, too, in this Athens of America. We are in a forlorn state hereabouts, I think, in more ways than one. The next reference to the Lowells was made in 1846: Ere long Maria came up and glided gently in at the door. James looked round with his face so radiant, put his arms around her and seated her in the big chair he had been in. Then sat down close to h

reer among English literati which seems to be cheaply open to all young Yankees. A letter without date describes Colonel Higginson's first meeting with Anne Whitney, the poet and sculptor: Here I am in a farmhouse in the loveliest, greenest region of Watertown, on a by-road, next house but one above Mr. Cushing's and next to Miss Anne Whitney's. . . . After my nap this afternoon, as I was beginning to write to you . . . up came a message that Miss A. W. was below, so down I went. White dress and cape bonnet; face between Elizabeth Whittier and Susan Higginson: looking older than I expected. Her brother was with her, which made it less remarkable for her to call on me. She and I agreed on a walk, which we later took-a lovely walk through green lanes fringed with barberries to a beautiful great elm tree and some superb oaks. I really never saw such groups of trees. It was an elm tree with the vigor of an oak — a little marring its peculiar grace. A. W. is like her poems,

, in town, we consulted Uncle York, the veteran, his personal attendant, as to whether he would probably eat it if sent. Uncle York opened his eyes, eyes that had seen generations of 'possum, and answered with smiling certainty, Eat 'um, sa? oh, yes, sa. If he eber taste 'um, he eat 'um, sure, and the thing was sent. December 21 Another frivolity is court-martials. I find that every colonel is court-martialed first or last as every child has measles. Of five colonels here, one, Colonel White, was court-martialed before I came here, another (Colonel Rust) afterwards. I have sat upon Colonel Sammons, the third and now am sitting on Colonel Van Wyck, the fourth. When this is over I shall be the only one left. Hilton Head, January 8, 1864 Nothing gives a Democrat a better glimpse of aristocratic privileges than to travel in a military department. When men see you are a colonel, all difficulties are smoothed and all privileges accorded, unless a general heaves in sight, a
