Frank Preston Stearns, Cambridge Sketches, Longfellow (search)
f the past. No wonder that in later years he said, in his exquisite verses on the Mountain of the Holy Cross in Colorado, these pathetic words, On my heart also there is a cross of snow. In Longfellow's diary we meet with the names of many books that he read, and these as well as the pertinent comments on them tell much more of his intellectual life than we derive from his letters. Adam Bede, which took the world by storm, did not make so much of an impression on him as Hawthorne's Marble Faun, which he read through in a day and calls a wonderful book. Of Adam Bede he says: It is too feminine for a man; too masculine for a woman. He says of Dickens, after reading Barnaby Rudge : He is always prodigal and ample, but what a set of vagabonds he contrives to introduce us to! Barnaby Rudge is certainly the most bohemian and esoteric of Dickens's novels. He liked much better Miss Muloch's John Halifax, --a popular book in its time, but not read very much since. He calls Charles

s, and his name has become a spell to conjure with. The Hawthorne centennial: Hawthorne as art critic When the Marble Faun was first published the art criticism in it, especially of sculptors and painters who were then living, created a dealed terms; and yet there seems to have been an undercurrent of suspicion in his mind, for he says more than once in the Marble Faun that it would appear to be a failing with sculptors to speak unfavorably of the work of other sculptors, and this, of inded fighter. The discourse on art, which he develops in this manner, forms one of the most valuable chapters in the Marble Faun. It assists us in reading it to remember that Story was not the model for Hawthorne's Kenyon, but a very different chaps, has sounded such depths of that clairvoyant master's nature, and so brought to light the very soul of him. The Marble Faun may not be the most perfect of Hawthorne's works, but it is much the greatest,--an epic romance, which can only be com

exuberant and hearty zeal . . . Shakespeare may have written as the birds sing, though I doubt it—but minor writers at least have to labor for form as the painter labors—the mere inspiration of thought is not enough. . . . There must be a golden moment but also much labor within that moment. At least it is so with me, and I cannot help suspecting that it is even so with the Shakespeares. On New Year's Day, 1866, the thought first came to Colonel Higginson, while reading Hawthorne's Marble Faun, that he might write a romance, a project always before rejected. The thought rapidly took shape in his mind, too rapidly, he wrote in his diary, for his own comfort, being overworked as editor of the Harvard Memorial Biographies. In March, he reports himself as still crushed under letters and memoirs, having himself written thirteen of the biographies for these volumes. But on his long solitary walks, he dreamed happily about the projected story. He wrote in his diary:— A wild <

me of practice, and in the long summer days, when other artists seek change or diversion, she finds her recreation in her beloved instrument. On being asked whether she composed for her violin, she answered, Yes, some little pieces,--the Mother's Prayer, the Dream,--but they are nothing. It is enough for me to render the works of the great masters. In her childlike devotion to the genius of Beethoven, Chopin, and Mendelssohn, she reminds one of Hilda, the girl-artist of Hawthorne's Marble Faun, whose life was spent in study of Raphael and Michael Angelo. It is better, thinks this earnest woman, to render vocal the great conceptions of the past, than to win a cheap reputation by fleeting musical mediocrities. Her remarkable memory retains all the music she plays, the orchestral parts as well as her own. Madame Urso's stay in this country is now uncertain. Her latest performances have been in the New England cities, and in New York. She has accepted an engagement in Cali

is affectionate hosts.

Perkins, Turner Sargent, J. L. Motley, Miss Emma Weston, and Hawthorne, then writing his Marble Faun; passed many hours in studios,—those of Story, Rogers, Overbeck, Cranch, Lehman, Hosmer, Ives, and Page; made a melancholy visit to that of Crawford, which still held the artist's unfinished works; gathered a stock of photographs at Macpherson's; visited with Bemis galleries and churches and studios. The latter wrote in his journal: He talked with Page about art, and evidently made an impression; he talked about the historical incidents of the Venus di Medici. I was wearied with the har
