Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Olde Cambridge, Chapter 2: old Cambridge in three literary epochs (search)
pparently borrowed from a manuscript bearing the same name and composed by Mr. Alcott. Alcott's Ms. Diary, XIV. 79. Meanwhile, to accentuate the literary tendency of the new movement in a yet more marked way, a young Harvard graduate, Robert Bartlett of Plymouth, then Latin tutor at the University, who was an occasional member or visitor of the Symposium Club, had taken for his Master of Arts oration in 1839 this daring theme, No good possible but shall one day be real, and had thus boldthese Republics, a literature such as the ages have not known,--a literature commensurate with our idea, vast as our destiny, and varied as our theme. This was, it must be seen, a distinct reaffirmation of the position previously taken by Robert Bartlett and shows how definite and earnest, on the literary side at least, was the aim of the Transcendentalists. In temperament, no doubt, they differed enormously — Alcott and Parker, for instance, representing almost the opposite extremes of the

of fifteen lines entitled Herzliebste. This was followed in July by one of fourteen lines on Eternity. The next year he wrote for the same paper Manfulness and Via Sacra. In 1844 he wrote a touching tribute of sixteen lines to his friend Robert Bartlett, who had been reported as dead, also another to Edelfrida. Throughout the year 1845 his muse seems to have been more prolific, for he published in the Harbinger Auf Wiedlersehen, which was followed by a hymn, Les attractions sont Proportiotants- We greet them still as most unwelcome guests, Answering their smile with hateful looks askance, Their sacred speech with foolish, bitter jests: But oh! what is it to imperial Jove That this poor world refuses all his love? To R. B. Robert Bartlett. Beloved friend! they say that thou are dead, Nor shall our asking eyes behold thee more, Save in the company of the fair and dread, Along the radiant and immortal shore, Whither thy face was turned for evermore, Thou wert a pilgrim towards

enough; but in a remarkable address given at Cambridge by a young man, whose career was cut short by death, after he had given promise of important service. Robert Bartlett, of Plymouth, Massachusetts, graduated at Cambridge in 1836, and in his Master of Arts oration, three years after, took for his theme the phrase, No good possge P. Bradford, Dr. Le Baron Russell, and a few young theological students from Cambridge, such as William D. Wilson, now professor at Cornell University, and Robert Bartlett, whose Harvard Master of Arts oration has been already quoted. Once, and once only, Dr. Channing and George Bancroft seem to have met with them at Mr. Ripleyparently the only one to be found in these parts, now lies before me. In this magazine it was proposed to publish some other things from American sources besides Bartlett's oration ; as, for instance, a review of Jones Very's poems, by Miss Fuller; and one of Tennyson's, by John S. Dwight; but these seem never to have appeared. B

her own place and a very high place among American prose-writers, they may turn to that essay. There were two points in which no one exceeded her at the time and place in which she lived. First, she excelled in lyric glimpses, or the power of putting a high thought into a sentence. If few of her sentences have passed into the common repertory of quotation, that is not a final test. The greatest poet is not necessarily the most quoted or quotable poet. Pope fills twenty-four pages in Bartlett's Dictionary of Quotations, Moore eight, Burns but six, Keats but two, and the Brownings taken together less than half a page. The test of an author is not to be found merely in the number of his phrases that pass current in the corners of newspapers — else would Josh Billings be at the head of literature ;but in the number of passages that have really taken root in younger minds. Tried by this standard, Margaret Fuller ranks high, and, if I were to judge strictly by my own personal expe

l the world before us, our own age and land shall be classic to ourselves. The passage above quoted is from the Master of Arts oration of a young scholar — Robert Bartlett, of Plymouth — at the Harvard Commencement exercises of 1839. The original title of the oration was, No Good Possible but shall One Day be Real. Bartlett, wBartlett, who had been the first scholar in his class, and was a tutor in the university, died a few years later, but the prophecy above given attracted much attention, and was printed in an English magazine,--Heraud's monthly (April, 1840);and when in that same year The Dial began to be published, the very first page of the first number gavent lay the problem whether we should have a literature of our own; and it was a strength, not a weakness, in these men when they aimed, in the words of young Robert Bartlett, to make us classic to ourselves. Probably no one who did not live in those days can fully realize what it was to us to have our own aspects of nature, our o

The townspeople had great faith and confidence in him. Fai
