Emerson, Thoreau, Channing, and Alcott dispersed a fragrance that attracted at once, and all they said was resonant with charity and courage. The first flash of individuality from Emerson could hardly fail to suggest that he resembled the American eagle; and he presided over Concord in a way not unlike our glorious symbol, the Friend of Light.
Una and Julian went to the Emersons' in the evening. Read again "Leamington Spa." Inimitable, fascinating. Thanksgiving Day. We invited Ellery Channing, but he could not come. Julian and I went to Boston. When I came home I found my husband looking very ill. Julian has gone on a visit to the Fields's. My husband quite ill. Everything seems sad, when he is ill. I sewed all day.
It seemed to him an insult and a bitter humiliation; here, at his home, almost in the presence of his wife! What was the man's idea, anyway? And suddenly he turned upon Channing with the question, "You think that I've married a doll?" The other was staggered for a moment. "I don't know what you've married," he replied. "No," said Thyrsis. "Then how can you advise me in such a matter?"
"When an unpalatable step has to be taken, the sooner it is set about, the less will be the cost," remarked Mr. Yorke. "Unpalatable! you may well say that. This will be the climax, will it not, William?" "Climax of what?" "Of all the unpleasantness that has attended your engagement with Miss Channing " "I beg your pardon, Lady Augusta," was the interruption of Mr. Yorke.
"Oh, thank you," he said. "I think I'll keep on trying for a paper I'll try a little longer. I want to see something of this war, of course, and if I'm not too lazy I'd like to write something about it, but well I'm much obliged to you, anyway." "Of course, if it were my money, I'd take you on at once," said Keating, hurriedly. Channing smiled and nodded. "You're very kind," he answered.
Emerson also watched Hawthorne, and the whole company felt his silent presence, and missed him greatly once or twice when he failed to come. Miss Elizabeth Hoar said: "The people about Emerson, Channing, Thoreau and the rest, echo his manner so much that it is a relief to him to meet a man like Hawthorne, on whom his own personality makes no impression." Neither did Mrs. Emerson echo her husband.
They who repeat the saying that "a prophet is not without honor save in his own country," will find an exception to its truth in the case of Emerson. Read the impressive words spoken at his funeral by his fellow-townsman, Judge Hoar; read the glowing tributes of three of Concord's poets, Mr. Alcott, Mr. Channing, and Mr.
Some months ago an advanced Unitarian from Boston delivered a farewell address to the Buddhists of Japan, in which he presented three great Unitarians of New England Channing, Emerson, and Parker in a sort of transfiguration of gentleness and charity.
With the constant inclination to dispraise cities and civilization, he yet can find no way to know woods and woodmen except by paralleling them with towns and townsmen. Channing declared the piece is excellent: but it makes me nervous and wretched to read it, with all its merits. I told Henry Thoreau that his freedom is in the form, but he does not disclose new matter.
Others noticed the significant look exchanged between them; but they, not in the secret, saw only, on the part of Hamish, what they took for vexation at his brother's position. It was suggested that it would save time to take the evidence of Mr. Hamish Channing at once. Mr. Galloway's might be received later.
