Emerson's face had in it more of what we call the divine than had that of any other author of his time that wonderful, kindly, wise smile the smile of the soul not merely the smile of good nature, but the smile of spiritual welcome and hospitality. Emerson had quality. A good Emersonian will recognize any passage from the Sage in a book of quotations, even if no name is appended.
He purposed a tragedy on the death of Socrates: a story of which, as Tickell remarks, the basis is narrow, and to which I know not how love could have been appended. There would, however, have been no want either of virtue in the sentiments, or elegance in the language.
Two versions of her narrative are before me. There are slight variations between them, but in all essential points they are the same. The following note is appended to one of them: "Ce recit fut fait par ordre de Mr. de Beauharnois, gouverneur du Canada." On this expedition, Narrative of Military Operations in Canada, in N. Y. Col.
We have scarcely turned the title-page, for instance, before we come upon a ritual of daily worship, an order for Morning Prayer and an order for Evening Prayer, consisting in the main of Psalms, Scripture Lessons, Antiphonal Versicles, and Collects. Appended to this we find a Litany or General Supplication and a collection of special prayers.
Presently there was an arrival a brisk gentleman right out of Memphis, which I then learned was only ten miles distant bringing with him a morning paper. In this I saw appended to various army orders the name of "N.B. Dana, General Commanding." That set me to thinking.
At length, one of the little animals dropped a great rope, to which was appended an enormous forked tree, and this operated to tie up the bigger animal, which rolled about very much, as if in vain attempts to liberate itself from the thraldom to which they had subjected it.
With such exceptions, his works are not properly satirical, but the offspring of a mind inexhaustibly fertile in ludicrous ideas, which it appended to any topic in hand. At times, doubtless, the all-pervading frenzy of the times inspired him with a bitterness not his own. But, in the least defensible of his writings, he was influenced by an honest zeal for the public good.
"We Lodovico Maria, lord of Milan, affirm these orders to be those which we desire to be followed after our death, in the government of the State, under our son and successor in the Duchy. And in token of this, we have subscribed them with our own hand, and have appended our ducal seal." L. Pélissier, op. cit. Luzio-Renier, op. cit., p. 650. P. Pasolini, Caterina Sforza, iii.
Here he handed to Alain a memorial on behalf of an afflicted family who had been burnt out of their home, and reduced from comparative ease to absolute want. There was a list appended of some twenty subscribers, the last being the Contessa, fifty francs, and Madame de Maury, five. "Allow me, Marquis," said the Abbe, "to steal from you. Bless you two- fold, mon fils!"
The letters of these priests, departing for the scene of their labors, breathe a spirit of enthusiastic exaltation, which, to a colder nature and a colder faith, may sometimes seem overstrained, but which is in no way disproportionate to the vastness of the effort and the sacrifice demanded of them. See "Divers Sentimens," appended to the Relation of 1635.
