HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSON

He Loved Children aud Was Hims elf
Once an "Ugly Duokling."
From paper on Hans Christian
Andersen by Prof Hjalmar II. Boyesen.
ir the Century. we quote as follows;
The conversation then turned upon
his writings and told him how his
stories had been the dearest books oil
my childhood. and seemed associated
with all that was delightful in the
memory of it. told him how happy
and flattered had felt at finding the
name of the little boy in Ole Shut
Eye the same as my own, and that
half unconsciously had appropriated
his experiences and half believed them
to be my own.
This little confession seemed Ia
touch Andersen strangely. Tears
filled his eyes; he seized both my
hands and pressed them warmly.
:" Now you understand, he said,
what a happy lot it is to be tho chill
dren's poet.
II rose to take my leave, but lin
gered talking; and on my expressing
q desire to hear him read. he half
rose upon his sofa adjusted his pill
lows and began to recite from MEM
DRY. The Ugly Duckling.'
His manner was easy and CONVEX
sationaL full of caressing infections
such as one employs in telling tale
to child. In the pathetic passages
he was visibly affected and he closed
almost solemnly.
1T is the story OF my own life. :
he said. i was myself the despised
swan in the poultry yard, the poet in
the house of the Philistines. I felt
suddenly as he finished his recital
that I understood the man. / had
caught the keynote OF his character
Ali that was good and noble in him
rose in vivid light before mo. l never
saw him again"
