Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Margaret Fuller Ossoli, Chapter 3: Girlhood at Cambridge. (1810-1833.) (search)
er critics — as was also charged upon Madame de Stael in respect to her arms-with making the most of her only point of beauty. The total effect was undoubtedly that of personal plainness; and the consciousness of this fact was no doubt made more vivid to her by the traditions and remains of her mother's beauty, and by the fact that this quality was transmitted in even an enhanced form to her own younger sister Ellen, whom she reared and educated. Ellen Fuller, afterwards the wife of Ellery Channing, the poet, was in person and character one of the most attractive of women. She had a Madonna face, a broad brow, exquisite coloring, and the most noble and ingenuous expression, mingled, in her sister Margaret's phrase, with the look of an appealing child. I knew her intimately, her husband being my near relative, and our households being for various reasons closely brought together; and have always considered her one of the most admirable women I have ever had the good fortune to m

of Time, we must have for that. Ms. The poem described in these last words will readily be recognized as Emerson's since celebrated Wood-notes. The Ellery is an article by Emerson entitled New poetry and made up chiefly of extracts from Ellery Channing's poems — an essay received with mingled admiration and rage by the critics, and with especial wrath by Edgar Poe. E. H.'s poet was a strong poem, also contained in the second number of the Dial, by Mrs. Ellen Hooper, wife of Dr. R. W Hooplopstock and Meta, The Magnolia of Lake Pontchartrain, Yucca Filamentosa, and i Leila ; as well as the more elaborate critical papers--Goethe, Lives of the great Composers, and Festus. Poetry was supplied by Clarke, Cranch, Dwight, Thoreau, Ellery Channing, and, latterly, Lowell; while Parker furnished solid, vigorous, readable, commonsense articles, which, as Mr. Emerson once told me, sold the numbers. It is a curious fact that the only early Dial to which Parker contributed nothing was that

lows:-- Night preceding New Year's Day, 1844. The moon was nearly full, and shone in an unclouded, sky over wild fields of snow. The day was Sunday, a happy Sunday. I had enjoyed being with William equally when we were alone or with these many of different ages, tempers, and relationships with us, for all seemed bound in one thought this happy day. William addressed them in the morning on the Destiny of the Earth, and then I read aloud Ellery's poem The earth. A fine poem by Ellery Channing beginning- My highway is unfeatured air. . . . But in the night the thoughts of these verses kept coming, though they relate more to what had passed at the Fourier convention, and to the talk we had been having in Mrs. R.'s room, than to the deeper occupation of my mind. Ms. To find how this dream of silence filled her soul, at times, we must turn to another passage in the same letter to the Rev. W. H. Channing which describes her interview with the Ripleys:-- It is by no
