The Life and Letters of Fitz-Greene Halleck (Classic Reprint) by James Grant Wilson Pdf
Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Fitz-Greene Halleck Who gave us nobler loves, and nobler cares The poets, who on earth have made us heirs Of truth, and pure delight, by heavenly lays. To a young friend, who applied to Mr. Halleck, in 1859, for material for a biographical sketch, he replied, with his characteristic modesty I have published very little, and that little almost always anonymously, and have ever been but an amateur in the literary orchestra, playing only upon a pocket flute, and never aspiring, even in a dream, to the dignity of the baton.
