But his first post colic:late stu ly was lis the greater academy of Europe, whither he went to prepare h... If for the chair of modern languages at Bowdoin. Three y ars of n i . <> and travel overflowed In "Outre-Mer," the first of his books not a translation. The title Itself was significant of his mis sion to his countrymen. From beyond the sen he was to bring them the treas- 1 ures of old world story and song, hut first ho would tell them how the towns anil cities, the mountains and rivers, the castles and abbeys, the towers an l rplres. 1 oked to an American youth whose head was already well stocked with their lore and legends. Irring's example and "Sketch-Book" were be ore him, and he frankly t on:esses at Gottlngen in 1829, "1 am writing a kind of 'Sketch-Hook' of scenes in France, Sp:.T and Italy." France suggests many reflections, hut In his chapter on the Trouveros and the literature of song in the olden time the youthful poet is reveling in the sources whence he will draw both material and inspiration In the years to come. Home and the Italian cities rouse the same spirit of reflection upon t!.. r stratifle I history In 1S27 as they will this year, but the story of it was fr -her to Americans three-quarters of a century ago than it is today. Com paratively few of his countrymen had made the continental pilgrimage, and the poet felt himself commissioned to bring out of Europe all that he could carry to America. It Is significant of his comprehensive purpose of a wider culture for his fellow citizens that a translation of n French grammar waj the first fruit of his stay abroad, to lie followed by a version of a Spanish play, and then came the journal of liis tour in the hook already mentioned, publish ed In i irts in nod in two volumes the following year. Then came "Hy perion." Ave'years later, a romance version of his wand rings, gathering up the fancies which do not so well adjust themselves to n notebook as to a love story, especially If the principal charactcis he the author himself nnd his future wile. It Is the harvest of travel In- Germany nnd Switzerland, as "Outre-Mer" had been of loitcrings along tig' Mediterranean shore. Longfellow's first volume of poems was published in the same year, 1800. He call. I it "Voices <>:' the Night," p ? ips with a young man's paradoxical lnclii! '.don toward somber rf" lion. 1 ibly it was a trace of the Puritan gloom which delighted in lie shadows of I>r. Young's "Night Thoughts," for the Cambridge poet was not one to obtrude a single personal sorrow into all his verso at the age of fiJ. Whatever may have been the reason of the title, the "Hymn to Night," "The Midnight Mass of the Dying Year" and "The Light of S nrs" are not son, s of the day. Even "The Be'eaguerod City," with Its moral of the dawn, is chilly and damp with spectral mists, put to flight not 1 iy tlie rising sun, but the cathedral bell. He Is not yet free from the solemnity of the "Earlier Hems" of 15 years before, when Bryant's sober and solemn mood had acknowledged attraction for him as he wrote "Autumn" and the "Woods In the Winter." With "Ballads and Other Hoenis," published in 1841. a new spirit is ap parent. The Skeleton In Armour" bristles with tlie spears of viking an cestors and is linked to ages which were prehistoric on the American coast. In this, as in liis translation of "Fridthof's Saga" and "Study of Anglo-Saxon," he directed contemporaries to a Scandinavian mythology which rivals that of southern Europe and the ancients and has special interest for the descendants of the Norsemen. Incidentally he showed that his culture was wide as the literature of tlie west could make it. This he was glad to introduce to the children of those who had pushed the dominion of.the Gothic race across the Atlantic. He called their attention to tlie rude and strong elements of a primi tive faith and a primeval verse, to myth and edda. saga and song of scald. His inherited love of the sea, fostered by a boyhood on the Mulne coast, appears here and there in poems like "The Wreck of the Hesperus" on the reef of Norman's Woe. "The Bird and the Ship," "The Building of the Ship," "Sir Humphrey Gilbert." "Tbe Lighthouse" and the rest of tlie group "By the Koiiaiilo " Still it la urtTinratit that liu nr?t do. _ light in storm and wreck and the tragedies of the ocean, neither in the battle and war nor any kind of strife. He was a poet of peace and of the home virtues and the heart's affections. The patient endeavor of the "I'salm of Life," the youthful aspiration of "Excelsior," the resigna tion of the "Rainy Pay," the immortal hope of "God's Acre," are all simple in theme and unam bitious in treatment, but they have been as the voice of their own hearts to thousands who read poetry for what it is wqrth to them in sentiment rather than in high art or mystic suggestion. The day had not yet nrrived when a poet to be great and famous must write in a diction that needs a neighborhood club to Interpret his orphlc linos, and Longfellow. yet there was no affected slmpleness In this poet's simplicity, no flatness Into which Wordsworth sometimes descended in his zeal for a new poetic theory. Longfellow's own Idea of a poet's mission Is stated In the "Belfry of Bruges," whose old world suggestions are like cathedral chimes in the travel er's memory, illustrating also the author's favorite manner of bringing a homely truth to the minds of his readers through the foreign legend or pic ture. In this instance he compares -the rhymes of the poet to the stricken hours at night falling unnoticed on the drowsy ears of the multitude, on roofs and stones of cities. Only here and there some sleepless wight may listen to the melody till he hears thoughts long cherished intermingled with the song. In "Nuremberg" he finds "memoirs of the middle ages and a wondrous world of art," but the lesson he brings from the city of Durer nnd Hans Sachs, the cobbler bard, is "the nobility of labor, the long pedigree of toil," nnd in the "Norman Baron" dying in his turreted castlethe one redeeming feature of a life of greed and wrong was the freeing of his serfs. The time came when, with the rest of New England poets, he raised his voice against slaveholding in a country professing to be free, but the protest Was in his own pacific manner and not in the philippic strain of Whittier or the derisive reasoning of Lowell, and therein he kept his own individuality and that quality which made him the best loved of all our poets. This may not lie the highest ambition or be accompanied by the greatest achievement, but perhaps it is the reward which he himself would most have coveted. This kindly endearment of ail classes In two countries the poem of "Evan geline" did more than any other single one to win and augment. The poet turned English and American sympathy to the French side by enlisting that love which all the world has for a lover, particularly when it happens to be such a sweet nnd saintly maiden as the daughter of Benedict Bellefontalne or so valiant a youth as Gabriel Lajeuncsse, the son of Basil, the blacksmith. From the start all human Interest is with the separated lovers in the long search of one for the other, a tale of unrest and wandering', of hope deferred and of a deathbed meeting at last and ti e slumber side by side in their name less graves. It was the floodtide of a humanism that had been growing in our literature, first in the verse of sentimental strain and then in romantic. But this was a welling up of genuine sympathy for the betrothed torn asunder by the fate of war, and the volume and extent of compassionate sorrow were as the mighty tides of Fundy spreading over the basin of Minns close by the acres of Grand Pre. All classes of readers follow the sad quest of love and become Acadian peasants and pilgrims for the time. They also become humanists with Longfellow and friends of the poet who had touched fountains where others had only stirred the ami ace of the pool. In America ami In England he became tlie "writer of'Evangeline,'" by distinc tion. and It was this Idyl that led strai gers to And the same humane elements In his minor productions and to love him as the.expositor of hearth and home virtues and affection. Aexi u> TIMS poem tne nong o iiuiwninn coimncuus hscii 10 American readers as the most agreeable reproduction of the aboriginal sources of our verse. The Indian in literature has generally taken the hue of the writer's Imagination. He has been portrayed with inks of as many colors as his own war paint, red and blue and black. If. however, n cheerful dye could be found. Longfellow would be sure to dip his Indian in It. Accordingly the light that pervades the poem or Is best recalled is that of the setting sun cast over a departing race. The whole |s?eni Is the swan song of a departing race, re counting Its golden age of pristine happiness, its Inter decline and finally the coming of an alien people "from the regions of the morning," followed by the crowding nations of many tongues. None better than our poet of all humanity eould have sung this song so truly as to cherish the little sentiment that a conquering race can keep for the conquered. The song of the Invader was sung in "The Courtship of Miles Btandlah." In It also Is the same touch of humanity that makes all In love with lovers once more and with the poet of whose kindly heart they are the creation. Bv erywbere Its genial sunshine Illumines the page, even though the record be as a blaek letter chronicle of want and death In the pilgrim settlement, or of **11 r and dlatress. as In Acadia, or of a dispersed people In the far northwest. And If thie be true In the sadder phases of life how much more In the (lad ex perleoce* which be has Oiled with light and joy.
