poet in divers pleasing aspects-and in an I'M

wrote to Paul II. Hayne. Il am so dreadfuly

rate of twenty day The abuse of intrusion
in person and by letter upon the authors OF
Whttiers time was carried to disgraceful
lengths. The people who thus worried celebrl-
ties professed to be actuated by admiration and
by literary aspratIOn,-but, to til the truth,
the greater number of them were moved by
vanity and curiosity and the poets they inso-
lently harassed and tormented were far too kind
to them There is i better souvenir OF that
period peaSanter atmosphere. in this passage
from another letter to Hayne:
The poetica permanent has its trials and
keen susceptibility to the hard. harsh and un-
lovely things of life: but, my dear friend we
have also a capacity for enjoyment which others
do not know-"the still air of delightful
studies" the glow and enthusiasm of rhythmic
utterance, and the rapturOus love of all beauty
and harmony. And Holmes says. 1t is a
satisfaction sometimes TO sit under u tree and
read our own songs"
1t is good to know that Whittier could thus
throw off the burden Of all the petty annoyanCes
