JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL ON KEATS. MY DEAR SIR, (From the original manuscript in the New York Public Library.) BOSTON, Dec. 5. 1841. I address you rather than your brother editor, because I judge that the poetical department of Arcturus is more especially under your charge. I have to thank you for your sympathizing notice of my verses last spring. I thought then that you might like to have a contribution occasionally from me, but other engagements which it were tedious to specify hindered me from doing what my sympathy with the aims of your magazine dictated. I subscribed for your Arcturus before I had seen a number of it (though I can ill afford many such indulgences of taste) because I liked the spirit of your prospectus. For the same reason I sent you my volume of which I sent but a bare halfdozen to "the press "--because I despise our system of literary puffing. Your notice of Keats, in the number for this month, a poet whom I especially love & whom I consider to be one of the true old Titan brood-made me wish to see two of my own sonnets enshrined in the same volume. One of them you will see is addressed to the same marvellous day.' I cannot help thinking that you will like both of them. In your "News Gong" I see that you suggest a reprint of Tennyson. I wish you would say in your next that he is about to reprint a new & correct edition of his poems with many new ones which will appear in a few months. I think it would be a pity to reprint his poems at all-for he is poor & that would deprive him of what little profit he might make by their sale in this country-especially would it be wrong to reprint an incorrect edition. (Moxon will be his publisher) I do not wish you to state your authority for this-but you may depend on it, for my authority is the poet himself. I have the great satisfaction of thinking that the publication is in some measure owing to myself, for it was by my means that he was written to about it, & he says that "his American friends" are the chief cause of his reprinting. Wishing you all success in the cause of true & good literature I remain your friend J. R. LOWELL. SONNET. TO THE SPIRIT OF KEATS. Great soul, thou sittest with me in my room On whose full orbs with kindly lustre lies. The twilight warmth of ruddy ember-gloom; Thy clear, strong tones will oft bring sudden bloom Of hope secure to him who lonely cries Wrestling with the young poet's agonies- Yes the few words which, like huge thunderdrops, SONNET-SUNSET & MOONSHINE. The sunset hath a glory for the Soul, And with it my full heart grows forth & broods [Postscript:] I said that you would like them. [Addressed:] For EVERT A.
