Thomas Wentworth Higginson, John Greenleaf Whittier, Chapter 2: school days and early ventures (search)
es at the price of five dollars a copy, in order that he might burn it. It gave little promise, either in its prose or verse, and showed, like the early works of Hawthorne, the influence of Irving. The only things preserved from it, even in the appendix to his collected poems, are two entitled Metacom and Mount Agioochook Works, young white girl from Indians, who are terrified by rumbling noises that proceed from a carbonate concealed in the rocks; this suggesting the Great Carbuncle of Hawthorne. All these themes, it will be noticed, are American and local, and hence desirable as selections; but the talent of the author was not precociously mature, like that of Hawthorne, nor did he continue in the same direction.

In rather a sepulchral tone of voice he bade me good-morning, and asked me to be seated opposite him, and we looked at each other and remHawthorne met me, evidently in a lugubrious state of mind. In rather a sepulchral tone of voice he bade me good-morning, and asked me to be seated opposite him, and we looked at each other and remarked upon the weather; then came an appalling silence and the cold chills crept down my back, and after a moment or two I got up and said, I think I will take a short walk. I took my walk and returned to bid him good morning much to my relief, and I have no doubt to his. With Mrs. Stowe he would sit till the small hours of th<
