Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from George Wm; Curtis to John S. Dwight: Brook Farm and Concord
It would seem, however, that Curtis gave only a part Of his time to study, as is indicated in a letter written to his father in June, 1843, and published in the admirable biography by Mr. Edward Cary. My life is summery enough here, he writes. We breakfast at six, and from seven to twelve I am at work. After dinner, these fair days permit no homage but to their beauty, and I am fain to woo their smiles in the shades and sunlights Of the woods. A festal life for one before whom the great sea stretches which must be sailed yet this summer air teaches life-navigation, and I listen to the ?ow ing streams, and to the cool rush of the winds among the trees, with an increase of that hope which is the only pole-star of life.
