eir existence, purely for its own sake, as we do with the ferns and asters,--but that is contrary to the nature of love; though it be true in one sense, as Schiller says, that he only loves who loves without hope, yet in another it is true that love cannot exist without desire, though it be the desire of the moth for the star. Ms. Sometimes she records rambles with others, and we have here a visit to Mount Auburn, at the period when it still retained its rural beauty:-- Saturday, Ellery [Channing] and I had a good afternoon at Mount Auburn. He was wondering why men had expressed so little of any worth about death. I said I thought they attached too much importance to it. On this subject I always feel that I can speak with some certainty, having been on the verge of bodily dissolution. I felt at that time disengaged from the body, hovering and calm. And in moments of profound thought or feeling, or when, after violent pain in the head, my exhausted body loses power to he

You said you might wish to make some alterations if we kept it — do you wish to have it sent you, the first part is left in type; they had printed a good deal before finding it would be too long. E. H.'s Poet, some of C.'s best, Ellery, and The Bard born out of Time, we must have for that. Ms. The poem described in these last words will readily be recognized as Emerson's since celebrated Wood-notes. The Ellery is an article by Emerson entitled New poetry and made up chiefEllery is an article by Emerson entitled New poetry and made up chiefly of extracts from Ellery Channing's poems — an essay received with mingled admiration and rage by the critics, and with especial wrath by Edgar Poe. E. H.'s poet was a strong poem, also contained in the second number of the Dial, by Mrs. Ellen Hooper, wife of Dr. R. W Hooper,--a woman of genius, who gave our literature a classic in the lines beginning,-- I slept, and dreamed that life was beauty. Margaret Fuller wrote of her long afterwards from Rome, I have seen in Europe no woman more

The day was Sunday, a happy Sunday. I had enjoyed being with William equally when we were alone or with these many of different ages, tempers, and relationships with us, for all seemed bound in one thought this happy day. William addressed them in the morning on the Destiny of the Earth, and then I read aloud Ellery's poem The earth. A fine poem by Ellery Channing beginning- My highway is unfeatured air. . . . But in the night the thoughts of these verses kept coming, though they relate more to what had passed at the Fourier convention, and to the talk we had been having in Mrs. R.'s room, than to the deeper occupation of my mind.

I have just about enough talent and knowledge to furnish a dwelling for friendship, but not enough to deck with golden gifts a Delphos for the world. Fuller Mss. i. 593. As I read Ellery [Channing] my past life seems a poor excuse for not living; my so-called culture a collection of shreds and patches to hide the mind's nakedness. Cannot I begin really to live and think now? Fuller Mss. i. 597. How many authors, surrounded by a circle of admiring friends, are found to have descended, in their secret diaries, to quite such depths of humility as appear in these extracts?
