We could smile at such a hegira if Tom, Dick and Harry were concerned in it; but if the men and women of light and leading abandon us, the implied indictment is worth heeding. The personal character and nature of Winthrop are well known, and may serve as a type for the milder aspect of his companions. He was of a gentle and conciliating temper, affectionate, and prizing the affection of others.

If I am hindered from feeling the soul of poetry among woods and fields, I yet trust I am struggling for something worth prizing something of which I am not ashamed, and need not be.
