Thomas Wentworth Higginson, John Greenleaf Whittier, Chapter 12: Whittier the poet (search)
is poet and was carried even farther, while his efforts were more continuous in execution and higher in tone. On the other hand, he drew from Milton his long prose sentences and his tendency to the florid rather than the terse. His conversation was terse enough, but not his written style. He said to Mrs. Fields: Milton's prose has long been my favourite reading. My whole life has felt the influence of his writings. Fields's Whittier, p. 41. He once wrote to Fields that Allingham, after Tennyson, was his favourite among modern British poets. I do not remember him as quoting Browning or speaking of him. This may, however, have been an accident. One of the very ablest of New England critics, a man hindered only by prolonged ill-health from taking a conspicuous leadership, David Atwood Wasson, himself the author of that noble poem with its seventeenth-century flavour, All's well, wrote in 1864 in the Atlantic Monthly what is doubtless the profoundest study of Whittier's temperame

must prevail. And this is my consolation as I cast this gloomy horoscope. To the Duchess of Argyll, April 7: He had written the duchess a full letter, March 24, on the progress of the war, and the Confederate cruisers which were being fitted out in England.— Just as I was about to write to you, I am gladdened by your letter of 19th March, which in its tone is so inconsistent with that war which we are now expecting from England. But first let me express the pleasure I had in Tennyson's ode. A Welcome to Alexandra. I have read it aloud again and again, and always with fresh delight. It is exquisite, and the best thing of the kind that I can recall in all literature. In perfect contrast, I put Lord Russell's recent despatches, which I have read with grief unspeakable. . . . On their character, and the inevitable tendency of our relations with England, there is but one opinion in the Cabinet. Not a single member hesitates in conclusion; nor does the President. When

ever. While always ready for contests which concerned principles and policies, he had no taste for those which concerned only the individual or sectional claims of candidates. No urgency of persuasion would have moved him to leave his seat in the Senate in order to attend a national political convention. Sumner arrived at home, July 17. He passed a week early in August with Longfellow at Nahant, where the air, the breeze, the sea were kindly, and where on the piazza they read together Tennyson's last volume, Enoch Arden, enjoying it more than air or breeze or sea. Later in the month he was for a few days at Newport. At a dinner at William Beach Lawrence's he met Lord Airlie, who recorded in his diary Sumner's remarks on the speeches of English statesmen, our Civil War, and other topics,—extracts from which, without Lord Airlie's authority, appeared in the Scotsman, Jan. 7, 1865. Both Sumner and Lord Airlie were annoyed by the publication. Lord Airlie and his brother-in-law

ed, Mrs. Jimfarlan, I adore your pig, so down we sat. Oh, yes, Mamma, says Julia, and I know the rest. When you had got through dinner, and had had all you wanted, you rose, and told the lady that you had something to tell her in the greatest confidence. Then she went into the entry with you, and you whispered in her ear, Mrs. Jimfarlan, I hate your pig! and then rushed out of the house. ... I have had one grand tea-party — the Longos, Curtis, etc., etc. We had tea out of doors and read Tennyson in the valley. It was very pleasant. ... The children spent Tuesday with the Hazards. I went over to tea. You remember the old beautiful place. Vaucluse, at Portsmouth. We have now a donkey tandem, which is the joy of the Island. The children go out with it, and every one who meets them is seized with cramps in the region of the diaphragm, they double up and are relieved by a hearty laugh. To her sister Annie October, 1854. I will tell you how I have been living since my return

y, my son, came, and after some little preparation told me of the death of my dear sister Annie. I have been toiling and moiling to keep the engagements of this week, but here comes the great silence, and I must keep it for some days at least.... April 10. ... It suddenly occurred to me that this might be the hour, as this would surely be the day of dear Annie's funeral. So I found the 90th Psalm and the chapter in Corinthians, and sat and read them before her picture, remembering also Tennyson's lines:-- And Ave, Ave, Ave said Adieu, adieu, forever more. To Laura 241 Beacon Street, April 14, 1895. Buona Pasqua, Dear Child! ... I feel thankful that my darling died in her own home, apparently without suffering, and in the bosom of her beloved family. She has lived out her sweet life, and while the loss to all who loved her is great, we must be willing to commit our dear ones to God, as we commit ourselves. The chill of age, no doubt, prevents my feeling as I should once

-fifth anniversary. The whole thing was very beautiful — the reception was in the tapestry room of the Art Museum. I was placed in a sort of throne chair, with the president and ex-presidents in a line at my left, and the cream of Boston was all brought up and presented to me. In another of the large rooms a stage had been arranged, and from this I made my little speech. Then came some beautiful singing by Mrs. Tebbets, with a small orchestral accompaniment, and then was given one act of Tennyson's Princess and Browning's In a Balcony. The place, the performances, and the guests made this a very distinguished occasion. I had gone just before this to see Louisa Cushing's wonderful acting in a French play of the Commune. She possesses great tragic power and reminds one of Duse and of Sarah Bernhardt. I suppose that H. M. H. has written you of his appointment as Professor of Metallurgy, etc., at Columbia College, New York. He and Fannie are much pleased with this, and it is consid

per on Optimism and Pessimism and have got into the spirit of it. Maud's friends came at 3 P. M., among them Christian Ross, the painter, with Bjornstjerne Bjornson. February 16. To Mrs. Hurlburt's reception.--Talked with Countess Blank, an American married to a Pole. She had much to say of the piety of her Arab servant, who, she says, swallows fire, cuts himself with sharp things, etc., as acts of devotion!! Met Mr. Trench, son of the late Archbishop, Rev. Chevenix Trench. He has been Tennyson's publisher. Did not like T. personally — said he was often rude — read his own poems aloud constantly and very badly; said, No man is a hero to his publisher. Told about his sale of Henry George's book, a cheap edition, one hundred and fifty thousand copies sold in England. February 18.
