Thomas Wentworth Higginson, John Greenleaf Whittier, Chapter 9: Whittier at home (search)
his home life is that drawn by Hayne, the Southern poet, who once visited him. So 'neath the Quaker poet's tranquil roof, From all deep discords of the world aloof, I sit once more and measured converse hold, With him whose nobler thoughts are rhythmic gold; See his deep brows half-puckered in a knot, O'er some hard problem of our mortal lot, Or a dream soft as May winds of the south, Waft a girl's sweetness 'round his firm, set mouth. Or, should he deem wrong threats the public weal, Lo, the whole man seems girt with flashing steel; His glance a sword-thrust and his words of ire, Like thunder tones from some old prophet's lyre. Or by the hearthstone, when the day is done, Mark swiftly lanced a sudden shaft of fun; The short quick laugh, the smartly smitten knees, Are all sure tokens of a mind at ease. God's innocent pensioners in the woodland dim, The fields, the pastures, know and trust in him, And in their love, his lonely heart is blest, Our pure hale-minded Cowper of the West.
Thomas Wentworth Higginson, John Greenleaf Whittier, Chapter 12: Whittier the poet (search)
ought of some portions of the book may be considered beyond the comprehension of the class for which it is intended. Admitting that there may be truth in the objection, I believe, with Coventry Patmore in his preface to a child's book, that the charm of such a volume is increased rather than lessened by the surmised existence of an unknown element of power, meaning, and beauty. I well remember how, at a very early age, the solemn organ-roll of Gray's Elegy and the lyric sweep and pathos of Cowper's Lament for the Royal George moved and fascinated me with a sense of mystery and power felt rather than understood. A spirit passed before my face, but the form thereof was not discerned. Freighted with unguessed meanings, these poems spake to me, in an unknown tongue, indeed, but like the wind in the pines or the waves on the beach, awakening faint echoes and responses, and vaguely prophesying of wonders yet to be revealed. He was the Tyrtaeus or leading bard of the greatest moral
