Sayfa 140 - Hedge is one of the sturdiest little fellows I have come across for many a day. A face like a rock ; a voice like a howitzer ; only his honest kind gray eyes reassure you a little. We have met only once ; but hope (mutually, I flatter myself) it may be often by and by. That hardy little fellow too, what has he to do with " Semitic tradition " and the " dust-hole of extinct Socinianism...
Sayfa 251 - One book, last summer, came out in New York, a nondescript monster which yet had terrible eyes and buffalo strength, and was indisputably American, — which I thought to send you; but the book throve so badly with the few to whom I showed it, and wanted good morals so much, that I never did. Yet I believe now again, I shall. It is called Leaves of Grass...
Sayfa 8 - The good Alcott: with his long, lean face and figure, with his gray worn temples and mild radiant eyes ; all bent on saving the world by a return to acorns and the golden age; he comes before one like a kind of venerable Don Quixote, whom nobody can even laugh at without loving!
Sayfa 15 - If the direction of these speculations is to be deplored, it is yet a fact for literary history that all the bright boys and girls in New England, quite ignorant of each other, take the world so, and come and make confession to fathers and mothers, — the boys, that they do not wish to go into trade, the girls, that they do not like morning calls and evening parties. They are all religious, but hate the churches ; they reject all the ways of living of other men, but have none to offer in their stead....
Sayfa 177 - Pigs in about a year eat up all the rattlesnakes for miles round : a most judicious function on the part of the Pigs. Behind the Pigs comes Jonathan with his allconquering ploughshare, — glory to him too ! Oh, if we were not a set of Cant-ridden blockheads, there is no Myth of Athene or Herakles equal to this fact ; — which I suppose will find its real
Sayfa 11 - I love your Dial, and yet it is with a kind of shudder. You seem to me in danger of dividing yourselves from the Fact of this present Universe, in which alone, ugly as it is, can I find any anchorage, and soaring away after Ideas. Beliefs, Revelations, and such like, — into perilous altitudes, as I think...
Sayfa 85 - But of what you say now and heretofore respecting the remoteness of my writing and thinking from real life, though I hear substantially the same criticism made by my countrymen, I do not know what it means. If I can at any time express the law and the ideal right, that should satisfy me without measuring the divergence from it of the last act of Congress.
Sayfa 67 - A great shock of rough dusky dark hair; bright, laughing, hazel eyes ; massive aquiline face, most massive yet most delicate ; of sallow brown complexion, almost Indian looking, clothes cynically loose, free-and-easy, smokes infinite tobacco. His voice is musical, metallic, fit for loud laughter and piercing wail, and all that may lie between ; speech and speculation free and plenteous ; I do not meet in these late decades such company over a pipe ! we shall see what he will grow to.
Sayfa 212 - Such a predetermination to eat this big Universe as her oyster or her egg, and to be absolute empress of all height and glory in it that her heart could conceive, I have not before seen in any human soul.
Sayfa 261 - Not for seven years and more have I got hold of such a Book ; — Book by a real man, with eyes in his head ; nobleness, wisdom, humor, and many other things, in the heart of him.
