Excerpt from Anthology of Magazine Verse for 1916: And Year Book of American Poetry
Ten years ago in writing an introduction to a collection of Elizabethan poetry which I had edited, Colonel Higginson, naming some Of the great figures of the period, remarked that they stood out as memorials Of an intellectual group which must have been greatly self-sustaining and by no means the outcome of any mere patronage. He went on to comment, What it is which pro vides at irregular intervals Of human history such rare intellectual groups, we cannot tell, and De Quincey seems hardly extravagant when he likens them to earthquake periods or equinoctial gales, things inscrutable and wondrous. Even Amer ica is now Old enough to look back on two marked epochs, the one represented by Cooper and Irving - Writers of prose only the other by Emerson and Longfellow. The utmost that can be done for these exceptional combinations. Is to study them while they flourish, and do justice to them when they have passed by.
