the last time i | 10 |
editor of the atlantic | 10 |
by william dean howells | 10 |
that i did not | 10 |

he was one of | 9 |
i doubt if he | 8 |
he was not a | 8 |
when i began to | 8 |
would not have had | 8 |
as if he were | 8 |
when i first knew | 8 |
seems to have been | 8 |
with a sort of | 8 |
when it came to | 8 |
i suppose it was | 8 |
so far as to | 8 |
do not know what | 8 |
i did not think | 8 |
a great deal of | 8 |
in the atlantic monthly | 8 |
the office of the | 8 |
i could see that | 8 |
that i could not | 8 |
first visit to new | 8 |
i first knew him | 8 |
am not sure that | 8 |
as well as the | 7 |
the life of the | 7 |
of the new england | 7 |
that it would be | 7 |
that he had been | 7 |
he was in the | 7 |
one of the first | 7 |
he was fond of | 7 |
and i am sure | 7 |
of the dante club | 7 |
at a time when | 7 |
with him in his | 7 |
in the midst of | 7 |
asked me if i | 7 |
and i doubt if | 7 |
i tried to make | 7 |
that i should not | 7 |
but it was not | 7 |
and i suppose that | 7 |
to speak of the | 7 |
i could not say | 7 |
seems to me that | 7 |
he was willing to | 7 |
the rest of the | 7 |
i wish i could | 7 |
when i came back | 7 |
there must have been | 7 |
he could not have | 7 |
but we did not | 7 |
we went to live | 7 |
he had come to | 7 |
he spoke of the | 7 |
in spite of his | 7 |
when i told him | 7 |
was by no means | 7 |
the beginning of the | 6 |
of the united states | 6 |
with him in the | 6 |
did not care much | 6 |
my first visit to | 6 |
to live in cambridge | 6 |
on the other side | 6 |
i should have been | 6 |
but i doubt if | 6 |
if he had been | 6 |
i never saw him | 6 |
but i am sure | 6 |
in my literary passions | 6 |
i will not pretend | 6 |
with a sense of | 6 |
it could not be | 6 |
quarter of a century | 6 |
but there was no | 6 |
what was left of | 6 |
do not think he | 6 |
and i had a | 6 |
i am glad to | 6 |
one of the best | 6 |
when he came to | 6 |
though i do not | 6 |
for the most part | 6 |
was not to be | 6 |
i do not mean | 6 |
he must have had | 6 |
visit to new england | 6 |
the sight of the | 6 |
he was the most | 6 |
in one of the | 6 |
he asked me if | 6 |
could not bear to | 6 |
will not pretend that | 6 |
he was a great | 6 |
i know that he | 6 |
at the time i | 6 |
it was not till | 6 |
in the presence of | 6 |
and i think that | 6 |
it seemed to me | 6 |
had been passed in | 6 |
it was not the | 6 |
i could not have | 6 |
and he did not | 6 |
and i am glad | 6 |
he had been a | 6 |
last time i saw | 6 |
as soon as i | 6 |
he was of the | 6 |
of him as a | 6 |
do not know that | 6 |
that there was nothing | 6 |
i was aware of | 6 |
i dare say he | 6 |
on one of the | 6 |
which i could not | 6 |
a good deal of | 6 |
as long as he | 6 |
that he had not | 6 |
it seemed as if | 5 |
seems to me now | 5 |
so much as i | 5 |
as often as i | 5 |
and he was of | 5 |
came to new york | 5 |
but i know that | 5 |
was none the less | 5 |
i dare say it | 5 |
of the civil war | 5 |
a quarter of a | 5 |
at the beginning of | 5 |
it was a question | 5 |
that i was not | 5 |
and i began to | 5 |
i used to see | 5 |
had the courage to | 5 |
and i never saw | 5 |
that i do not | 5 |
he said it was | 5 |
it was not a | 5 |
i was asked to | 5 |
i think it was | 5 |
i had not the | 5 |
that i had not | 5 |
time i saw him | 5 |
at the time of | 5 |
was very willing to | 5 |
when i could not | 5 |
in the office of | 5 |
in a log cabin | 5 |
if i could not | 5 |
that he was a | 5 |
and he would not | 5 |
it would be easy | 5 |
is certain is that | 5 |
that i should have | 5 |
and he liked to | 5 |
the face of the | 5 |
as well as in | 5 |
and i had to | 5 |
four or five years | 5 |
assistant editor of the | 5 |
he went on to | 5 |
and he was not | 5 |
he came to the | 5 |
do not see how | 5 |
if i did not | 5 |
i cannot make out | 5 |
and one of the | 5 |
was apt to be | 5 |
was not going to | 5 |
i have told in | 5 |
the steps of the | 5 |
i believe it was | 5 |
and he asked me | 5 |
not know whether he | 5 |
to the end of | 5 |
and i wish i | 5 |
but at the time | 5 |
and he had a | 5 |
that he would not | 5 |
when i met him | 5 |
should not be able | 5 |
we could not have | 5 |
as the author of | 5 |
it was as if | 5 |
the damned human race | 5 |
which he liked to | 5 |
the end of a | 5 |
on the other hand | 5 |
it was one of | 5 |
but i did not | 5 |
was a good deal | 5 |
did not see him | 5 |
the other side of | 5 |
the presence of the | 5 |
and he could not | 5 |
i am afraid i | 5 |
for the sake of | 5 |
was not of the | 5 |
what is certain is | 5 |
the editor of the | 5 |
and i will not | 5 |
lost no time in | 5 |
to say that he | 5 |
not be able to | 5 |
but he seemed to | 5 |
in his own country | 5 |
of some of the | 5 |
me that he had | 5 |
that if he had | 5 |
when i went to | 5 |
i do not see | 5 |
i do not now | 5 |
as much as i | 5 |
told in my literary | 5 |
for the last time | 5 |
i lost no time | 5 |
it would not be | 5 |
out of the common | 4 |
with an air of | 4 |
he told me that | 4 |
first time i saw | 4 |
that i went to | 4 |
and said he had | 4 |
began to know him | 4 |
he seemed not to | 4 |
long as he lived | 4 |
in the minds of | 4 |
of the republican party | 4 |
it is known how | 4 |
i knew him first | 4 |
that he had no | 4 |
i am aware of | 4 |
to say of the | 4 |
upon him in the | 4 |
he was not so | 4 |
not care much for | 4 |
he asked me about | 4 |
and when he came | 4 |
i am sure of | 4 |
and i think he | 4 |
did not care for | 4 |
do not remember how | 4 |
and he told me | 4 |
in the spirit of | 4 |
if he were not | 4 |
i had to say | 4 |
from one of the | 4 |
say that it was | 4 |
which he did not | 4 |
of them in the | 4 |
and as long as | 4 |
he was a man | 4 |
a man of his | 4 |
first knew him he | 4 |
the heart of a | 4 |
was the beginning of | 4 |
and i believe he | 4 |
that he was not | 4 |
year in a log | 4 |
in the capital of | 4 |
at the head of | 4 |
which i used to | 4 |
as if he had | 4 |
there was no one | 4 |
i have not the | 4 |
and i remember that | 4 |
in which he had | 4 |
five or six years | 4 |
because it was the | 4 |
had the company of | 4 |
if there had been | 4 |
for the saturday press | 4 |
walked up and down | 4 |
i have never been | 4 |
in one of his | 4 |
and he said that | 4 |
at the house of | 4 |
i had with him | 4 |
he was by no | 4 |
must have been very | 4 |
could have been more | 4 |
of the boy in | 4 |
it was fine to | 4 |
other side of the | 4 |
it did not seem | 4 |
came to live in | 4 |
i need not say | 4 |
asked him if he | 4 |
when the civil war | 4 |
in the glow of | 4 |
literary friends and acquaintance | 4 |
that it was a | 4 |
would be easy to | 4 |
he could not see | 4 |
at the breakfast table | 4 |
but he would have | 4 |
and if i had | 4 |
this must have been | 4 |
in the days when | 4 |
that i had never | 4 |
as if i had | 4 |
i dare say i | 4 |
a man who had | 4 |
the state house yard | 4 |
i wished to do | 4 |
much of the boy | 4 |
tell him how much | 4 |
in the keeping of | 4 |
i should say that | 4 |
and he must have | 4 |
i confessed that i | 4 |
a good deal in | 4 |
i have the feeling | 4 |
he wished me to | 4 |
and i would not | 4 |
he was able to | 4 |
in the middle of | 4 |
i found myself in | 4 |
i was obliged to | 4 |
i said that i | 4 |
the end of his | 4 |
of a new england | 4 |
there could be no | 4 |
said that he had | 4 |
i had been in | 4 |
of the man who | 4 |
as he would have | 4 |
do not believe any | 4 |
was a question of | 4 |
that if i had | 4 |
if there was any | 4 |
had not yet begun | 4 |
not have been more | 4 |
live in new york | 4 |
in the case of | 4 |
to tell the truth | 4 |
he seemed to have | 4 |
years before the mast | 4 |
the days of the | 4 |
if i could have | 4 |
in and out of | 4 |
but it was a | 4 |
to think that he | 4 |
do not know why | 4 |
to me that he | 4 |
that sort of thing | 4 |
of the saturday press | 4 |
he had not been | 4 |
went with him to | 4 |
and i can only | 4 |
he was a most | 4 |
should like to see | 4 |
he was not only | 4 |
i had not yet | 4 |
to live in new | 4 |
he knew how to | 4 |
if i had been | 4 |
but when it came | 4 |
it was not well | 4 |
i do not suppose | 4 |
which i did not | 4 |
the measure of the | 4 |
he did not know | 4 |
from the depths of | 4 |
himself the pleasure of | 4 |
he did not mind | 4 |
told me that he | 4 |
but when i came | 4 |
a few years ago | 4 |
in the shadow of | 4 |
i cannot say whether | 4 |
and i was obliged | 4 |
but he could not | 4 |
had the effect of | 4 |
would not have been | 4 |
here and there a | 4 |
he went back to | 4 |
a sense of the | 4 |
i met him in | 4 |
confessed that i had | 4 |
when i saw him | 4 |
i could not be | 4 |
at the bottom of | 4 |
i do not say | 4 |
and i saw him | 4 |
i was at home | 4 |
i was very glad | 4 |
years of my youth | 4 |
there was nothing but | 4 |
of a man who | 4 |
i have no doubt | 4 |
whom i had met | 4 |
the effect of a | 4 |
but in spite of | 4 |
and in due time | 4 |
of some of his | 4 |
what i could to | 4 |
could not feel that | 4 |
he said he had | 4 |
far as i know | 4 |
and said he would | 4 |
in the days of | 4 |
from first to last | 4 |
he went to live | 4 |
dare say it was | 4 |
to me now that | 4 |
it is best to | 4 |
and perhaps it was | 4 |
there was nothing of | 4 |
not pretend that i | 4 |
when he began to | 4 |
he would like to | 4 |
was a man of | 4 |
on either side of | 4 |
in my heart i | 4 |
in the line of | 4 |
have no recollection of | 4 |
he did not like | 4 |
there was a time | 4 |
and the next morning | 4 |
he said that if | 4 |
so far as he | 4 |
and i remember how | 4 |
was very glad to | 4 |
one of them was | 4 |
i am certain that | 4 |
felt him to be | 4 |
the best thing in | 4 |
my father and mother | 4 |
it was not until | 4 |
but i have always | 4 |
it is certain that | 4 |
i do not recall | 4 |
and i have no | 4 |
perhaps it was because | 4 |
of the things that | 4 |
he might have had | 4 |
which he had come | 4 |
of our life in | 4 |
but it must have | 4 |
when we came to | 4 |
the boy in him | 4 |
on the borders of | 4 |
but there was a | 4 |
did what i could | 4 |
was a sort of | 4 |
and he said he | 4 |
might well have been | 4 |
it had been a | 4 |
but it would be | 4 |
the first time i | 4 |
was before or after | 4 |
and i should not | 4 |
time to time i | 4 |
for a long time | 4 |
could see that he | 4 |
he was full of | 4 |
did not think it | 4 |
me if i had | 4 |
in the mean time | 4 |
i was going to | 4 |
in spite of the | 4 |
he could not do | 4 |
on my way to | 4 |
to him in the | 4 |
have told in my | 4 |
seemed to me a | 4 |
that he had a | 4 |
the keeping of the | 4 |
in the history of | 3 |
i believe he was | 3 |
the cellar and the | 3 |
see how i could | 3 |
was a bit of | 3 |
come to an end | 3 |
from the beginning to | 3 |
the heart of the | 3 |
i have heard that | 3 |
tell me of his | 3 |
met him in the | 3 |
thought it best to | 3 |
as a man of | 3 |
the story of his | 3 |
as the assistant editor | 3 |
as i had always | 3 |
and it was the | 3 |
in a house which | 3 |
life had been passed | 3 |
was of such a | 3 |
i came to live | 3 |
had so much of | 3 |
in the cause of | 3 |
a few years later | 3 |
i was in the | 3 |
he had the heart | 3 |
saw him in the | 3 |
not have had it | 3 |
seems not to have | 3 |
and i am not | 3 |
i had never heard | 3 |
did not see the | 3 |
to new york together | 3 |
from the face of | 3 |
that it should be | 3 |
to say that his | 3 |
and i know that | 3 |
must have been in | 3 |
he could not write | 3 |
to the door of | 3 |
believe that it was | 3 |
it is as if | 3 |
of course it was | 3 |
but at any rate | 3 |
and then i had | 3 |
the borders of the | 3 |
was just beginning to | 3 |
part of the way | 3 |
when i knew him | 3 |
very glad to get | 3 |
had been in his | 3 |
i can testify from | 3 |
which was one of | 3 |
impressions of literary new | 3 |
it was not so | 3 |
if it had come | 3 |
he had been of | 3 |
the south there was | 3 |
but he was of | 3 |
but he had already | 3 |
such a thing could | 3 |
me if i knew | 3 |
but with all his | 3 |
the house of a | 3 |
it might have been | 3 |
that in spite of | 3 |
i found him at | 3 |
and showed me the | 3 |
it was a very | 3 |
and when he was | 3 |
i might well have | 3 |
may have been a | 3 |
never heard him speak | 3 |
nothing could have been | 3 |
it was he who | 3 |
but i must not | 3 |
must have been the | 3 |
must have amused him | 3 |
he had taken the | 3 |
where he went to | 3 |
sure that he was | 3 |
he told me he | 3 |
he was glad to | 3 |
i suppose that i | 3 |
it was not for | 3 |
though i did not | 3 |
at one of the | 3 |
tried to make him | 3 |
in one of those | 3 |
at one period he | 3 |
was the first to | 3 |
i doubt if any | 3 |
and i still think | 3 |
i never met him | 3 |
but from time to | 3 |
of new england in | 3 |
i would like to | 3 |
that i had no | 3 |
in a time when | 3 |
of beauty in the | 3 |
if he could not | 3 |
there was not the | 3 |
the most of his | 3 |
be ashamed to read | 3 |
on my way home | 3 |
the civil war had | 3 |
for the pleasure of | 3 |
i was willing to | 3 |
i saw it in | 3 |
when he came back | 3 |
and he would have | 3 |
have been willing to | 3 |
came out with the | 3 |
it is well known | 3 |
to the effect that | 3 |
to make sure of | 3 |
say it was not | 3 |
need not say that | 3 |
point of view was | 3 |
to the office of | 3 |
the first days of | 3 |
but i believe that | 3 |
where there was a | 3 |
it was not my | 3 |
there was a great | 3 |
i have heard him | 3 |
would have been the | 3 |
when we met in | 3 |
years of my life | 3 |
at any rate i | 3 |
the measure of his | 3 |
false notion of him | 3 |
not and could not | 3 |
and to assure me | 3 |
do not believe he | 3 |
had gone to the | 3 |
i began to know | 3 |
it is strange that | 3 |
told me of the | 3 |
i have a feeling | 3 |
more or less a | 3 |
to me that i | 3 |
as i have suggested | 3 |
a due sense of | 3 |
bringing down a two | 3 |
a day or two | 3 |
the form of a | 3 |
one of the few | 3 |
it had been aforetime | 3 |
or five years later | 3 |
it was before or | 3 |
in a series of | 3 |
the things of it | 3 |
so far as my | 3 |
i fancy he was | 3 |
as long as i | 3 |
it began to be | 3 |
he was not very | 3 |
of the whole earth | 3 |
such a man could | 3 |
sick and scornful looks | 3 |
not see him again | 3 |
go back to the | 3 |
of the general court | 3 |
with the manuscript of | 3 |
as to be a | 3 |
and one of them | 3 |
it may have been | 3 |
to say that they | 3 |
he did not keep | 3 |
were not nearly so | 3 |
but one of the | 3 |
he gave me the | 3 |
the time had come | 3 |
did not think that | 3 |
that so far as | 3 |
which might well have | 3 |
sure that i was | 3 |
time to make money | 3 |
that i can remember | 3 |
was willing to be | 3 |
on his way to | 3 |
but i am quite | 3 |
who were in it | 3 |
i came home from | 3 |
should like to believe | 3 |
like a national literature | 3 |
which i had been | 3 |
is well known how | 3 |
in the belief that | 3 |
the rounds of the | 3 |
to be in the | 3 |
and told me that | 3 |
to tell him how | 3 |
to me of the | 3 |
with sick and scornful | 3 |
which he was always | 3 |
went out to cambridge | 3 |
his door to me | 3 |
i have the impression | 3 |
but perhaps it was | 3 |
was like no other | 3 |
in the other world | 3 |
i was able to | 3 |
so far as it | 3 |
but he had the | 3 |
though i believe that | 3 |
i can see him | 3 |
make a mock of | 3 |
which he had not | 3 |
the old log cabin | 3 |
and i was the | 3 |
him as well as | 3 |
in the world for | 3 |
and he had to | 3 |
do not mean that | 3 |
was never of the | 3 |
and i suppose it | 3 |
of a young man | 3 |
i have not read | 3 |
though i believe he | 3 |
i think he did | 3 |
had not the courage | 3 |
and he went on | 3 |
was more and more | 3 |
the part of the | 3 |
what it had been | 3 |
what he had done | 3 |
in his own house | 3 |
he was at the | 3 |
years of his life | 3 |
to have been in | 3 |
any i have known | 3 |
the effect of his | 3 |
as soon as he | 3 |
have had the courage | 3 |
he said he could | 3 |
if he did not | 3 |
the door of the | 3 |
i answered that i | 3 |
and i must have | 3 |
and he gave me | 3 |
at the foot of | 3 |
to the control of | 3 |
find it easy to | 3 |
if i may trust | 3 |
and he took a | 3 |
express my sense of | 3 |
went to call upon | 3 |
he was a poet | 3 |
what must have been | 3 |
the home of virtuous | 3 |
it was by no | 3 |
to see him again | 3 |
that i had been | 3 |
he came out of | 3 |
that they were the | 3 |
to those who thought | 3 |
am not sure i | 3 |
an old man and | 3 |
of one of his | 3 |
i could not do | 3 |
visit to new york | 3 |
it came to the | 3 |
to have been a | 3 |
the assistant editor of | 3 |
the young ladies were | 3 |
the charm of the | 3 |
which i dare say | 3 |
the floor of the | 3 |
the substance of things | 3 |
as if he would | 3 |
i went out to | 3 |
he was a youth | 3 |
out of the world | 3 |
in the manner of | 3 |
it was no fault | 3 |
when i first came | 3 |
have not the least | 3 |
whom he did not | 3 |
have the feeling that | 3 |
which i have mentioned | 3 |
when he came home | 3 |
as i knew it | 3 |
did not feel the | 3 |
a part of the | 3 |
up out of the | 3 |
him when he was | 3 |
must have been a | 3 |
to tell me of | 3 |
i would not have | 3 |
had already begun to | 3 |
that i had done | 3 |
our life in the | 3 |
but i think that | 3 |
his year in a | 3 |
and it seems to | 3 |
found that i was | 3 |
in the form of | 3 |
i was given to | 3 |
life of the city | 3 |
me for the magazine | 3 |
the state of ohio | 3 |
that he was very | 3 |
time i saw her | 3 |
baked beans and coffee | 3 |
in the things of | 3 |
and i felt the | 3 |
state house yard on | 3 |
i suppose that in | 3 |
the things of the | 3 |
as a matter of | 3 |
at the corner of | 3 |
he seemed to me | 3 |
which i do not | 3 |
that there was a | 3 |
that i thought it | 3 |
as the home of | 3 |
was the only thing | 3 |
had never heard of | 3 |
and was willing to | 3 |
after this lapse of | 3 |
and i was to | 3 |
he wished to be | 3 |
for some means of | 3 |
and to tell the | 3 |
so much of the | 3 |
was in those days | 3 |
would have been a | 3 |
i could not feel | 3 |
so that i could | 3 |
and it was a | 3 |
that it could not | 3 |
as he was in | 3 |
had to say of | 3 |
him how much i | 3 |
thing in the world | 3 |
which they could not | 3 |
and i have heard | 3 |
was a great deal | 3 |
from new york to | 3 |
more and more to | 3 |
poems of two friends | 3 |
i came back from | 3 |
a voice that was | 3 |
had heard my father | 3 |
and it is not | 3 |
but i cannot say | 3 |
and it was no | 3 |
though he did not | 3 |
which seemed to have | 3 |
i fancy that the | 3 |
do not think it | 3 |
have had in the | 3 |
the middle of the | 3 |
she was not only | 3 |
a lady who had | 3 |
without bringing down a | 3 |
was no fault of | 3 |
he was not of | 3 |
was not for me | 3 |
if i had not | 3 |
told the story of | 3 |
a time when he | 3 |
and my father and | 3 |
that there could be | 3 |
and when i had | 3 |
the volume of poems | 3 |
and i fancy that | 3 |
and i think it | 3 |
i wrote for the | 3 |
he would not let | 3 |
that was like no | 3 |
for good and all | 3 |
that he had taken | 3 |
ten dollars a week | 3 |
he seems to have | 3 |
i must have been | 3 |
after the lapse of | 3 |
the whole year round | 3 |
it seems to have | 3 |
of my life in | 3 |
he must have been | 3 |
when they began to | 3 |
and he had no | 3 |
which i should not | 3 |
do so and so | 3 |
it did not matter | 3 |
i was not going | 3 |
because it was so | 3 |
and scornful looks averse | 3 |
ashamed to read to | 3 |
i did my best | 3 |
was more or less | 3 |
seems always to be | 3 |
but because it was | 3 |
it was a great | 3 |
began to be a | 3 |
he could never have | 3 |
it would be better | 3 |
him in new york | 3 |
we did not think | 3 |
her out of the | 3 |
if he could have | 3 |
of the brahminical caste | 3 |
in the cool of | 3 |
we had not the | 3 |
history of his time | 3 |
the fancy of the | 3 |
that it was the | 3 |
of literary new york | 3 |
was as if the | 3 |
and i like to | 3 |
have a sense of | 3 |
for the things he | 3 |
he had been in | 3 |
was what it had | 3 |
i know not what | 3 |
i did what i | 3 |
the new england no | 3 |
he did not say | 3 |
and from time to | 3 |
i did not hear | 3 |
took the form of | 3 |
as if they were | 3 |
i believe she did | 3 |
he never made the | 3 |
he had not yet | 3 |
i felt that i | 3 |
a time when i | 3 |
for the purposes of | 3 |
i had gone to | 3 |
i have no recollection | 3 |
and he was willing | 3 |
with the whole family | 3 |
in the state journal | 3 |
and i shall not | 3 |
out to cambridge and | 3 |
i was made to | 3 |
i woke one morning | 3 |
the poems of two | 3 |
when i had been | 3 |
as if i were | 3 |
the make of the | 3 |
as far as the | 3 |
found myself in the | 3 |
i have said before | 3 |
the minds of all | 3 |
in which he was | 3 |
and i suppose he | 3 |
i dare say that | 3 |
i speak of it | 3 |
to be of the | 3 |
there was in it | 3 |
to me with a | 3 |
i did not understand | 3 |
can be sure of | 3 |
but he had no | 3 |
when i was not | 3 |
which might not have | 3 |
not know whether it | 3 |
back and forth between | 3 |
i might not have | 3 |
adjournment of the legislature | 3 |
cellar and the well | 3 |
i perceived that he | 3 |
but i was never | 3 |
and i have a | 3 |
seemed to me that | 3 |
to make a mock | 3 |
of our civil war | 3 |
was a time when | 3 |
of the state journal | 3 |
felt that he had | 3 |
in a few years | 3 |
the little miami river | 3 |
he would not be | 3 |
i think of it | 3 |
was of a very | 3 |
he was of such | 3 |
each other in the | 3 |
home of virtuous poverty | 3 |
of one of the | 3 |
would be better to | 3 |
talk i had with | 3 |
have been glad of | 3 |
the capital of ohio | 3 |
was of good family | 3 |
to dine with him | 3 |
i saw him in | 3 |
a sense of his | 3 |
of it in the | 3 |
and i was now | 3 |
the beauty of his | 3 |
and when i told | 3 |
he was very willing | 3 |
the dignity of the | 3 |
in a region where | 3 |
chance of my life | 3 |
the sense of a | 3 |
that they were not | 3 |
as long as the | 3 |
knew him he was | 3 |
at my house in | 3 |
have been in the | 3 |
i can be sure | 3 |
it seemed to be | 3 |
in the sort of | 3 |
he did not refuse | 3 |
to speak of his | 3 |
first impressions of literary | 3 |
the new state house | 3 |
there was a good | 3 |
a sense of its | 3 |
the meetings of the | 3 |
suppose that if the | 3 |
i did not find | 3 |
the same time he | 3 |
could never have been | 3 |
much more than the | 3 |
to the house of | 3 |
did not try to | 3 |
had long ceased to | 3 |
he said he was | 3 |
was the life of | 3 |
i could not tell | 3 |
he seemed to think | 3 |
so many of his | 3 |
a good many of | 3 |
some one else who | 3 |
as he grew older | 3 |
and when it was | 3 |
to the point of | 3 |
i was so often | 3 |
but i suppose that | 3 |
but i believe it | 3 |
him in his study | 3 |
into the keeping of | 3 |
when he came out | 3 |
great new england group | 3 |
i knew that he | 3 |
there was nothing for | 3 |
i had no such | 3 |
as well as i | 3 |
the vicinity where mr | 3 |
long ceased to be | 3 |
went so far as | 3 |
when he was a | 3 |
that in those days | 3 |
i have ever known | 3 |
almost as much as | 3 |
to the atlantic monthly | 3 |
the fact that a | 3 |
it was part of | 3 |
he was interested in | 3 |
i went with him | 3 |
the belief that the | 3 |
before he came to | 3 |
he could not bear | 3 |
and i tried to | 3 |
whether it was before | 3 |
as it used to | 3 |
i must confess that | 3 |
no time to make | 3 |
not have had me | 3 |
the adjournment of the | 3 |
this lapse of time | 3 |
at the sight of | 3 |
it was not his | 3 |
after the election of | 3 |
of the order of | 3 |
i am not certain | 3 |
the hands of the | 3 |
of the world than | 3 |
i could not make | 3 |
he felt that he | 3 |
i only know that | 3 |
either side of the | 3 |
and i had my | 3 |
the history of his | 3 |
in his relations with | 3 |
from the state library | 3 |
so much more than | 3 |
our first meeting in | 3 |
that it did not | 3 |
i could think of | 3 |
ought to have been | 3 |
he told me with | 2 |
so far as the | 2 |
down a two volumer | 2 |
had the pleasure of | 2 |
vacuous vulgarity of its | 2 |
the disadvantage to himself | 2 |
give him your best | 2 |
and i carried it | 2 |
to ask you to | 2 |
and i confessed that | 2 |
he never spoke of | 2 |
was not in his | 2 |
to get him to | 2 |
effect i would so | 2 |
fix my mind upon | 2 |
was apt to have | 2 |
he seemed to know | 2 |
am not sure but | 2 |
the sense of neighborhood | 2 |
have been a great | 2 |
once said to me | 2 |
me yet to think | 2 |
there could be such | 2 |
but they did not | 2 |
pilgrim from the west | 2 |
and make the least | 2 |
not know how much | 2 |
i first met him | 2 |
least so far as | 2 |
that the place was | 2 |
a young girl of | 2 |
the course of a | 2 |
age of sixty years | 2 |
join its vague conjectures | 2 |
on my second visit | 2 |
before that he had | 2 |
feel that i was | 2 |
he came home from | 2 |
knew him in cambridge | 2 |
on the st of | 2 |
committee at the bar | 2 |
and if i did | 2 |
fired on fort sumter | 2 |
when we went for | 2 |
willing that you should | 2 |
should like to send | 2 |
gay eyes had the | 2 |
i could have done | 2 |
would by no means | 2 |
have been in that | 2 |
but if i had | 2 |
i have not mentioned | 2 |
come to see me | 2 |
whose hand is this | 2 |
called upon him in | 2 |
and i can see | 2 |
was half as bad | 2 |
though we did not | 2 |
were in the direction | 2 |
in a state of | 2 |
despair in that pitiless | 2 |
ideal of life rather | 2 |
but as for the | 2 |
now and then there | 2 |
conjectures to the broken | 2 |
the now abandoned canal | 2 |
of the new house | 2 |
hard work of the | 2 |
as part of the | 2 |
to an academy in | 2 |
all up and down | 2 |
of the most perfect | 2 |
i can hear his | 2 |
a corner by the | 2 |
story office erected by | 2 |
a piece of the | 2 |
that our faults were | 2 |
which he gave so | 2 |
not have said anything | 2 |
which was none the | 2 |
i have since seen | 2 |
think he must have | 2 |
it would not do | 2 |
dignitary of the church | 2 |
volume of verse which | 2 |
pretend that i had | 2 |
most of the people | 2 |
fine world of literature | 2 |
what it shall loose | 2 |
far as i had | 2 |
he told me how | 2 |
made you aware of | 2 |
impression of an uncommon | 2 |
door to me himself | 2 |
where he was born | 2 |
it was to be | 2 |
he showed me the | 2 |
he may not have | 2 |
i cannot now be | 2 |
the medical college in | 2 |
call coarse without calling | 2 |
he wished to have | 2 |
three or four times | 2 |
that in all the | 2 |
the medical college at | 2 |
not to call coarse | 2 |
friends who frequent it | 2 |
ought not to call | 2 |
when the spring opened | 2 |
of ours in the | 2 |
in the place of | 2 |
i felt him to | 2 |
to be able to | 2 |
man whom he did | 2 |
as soon as they | 2 |
was no longer so | 2 |
that there was no | 2 |
not know that he | 2 |
it was this which | 2 |
this great man was | 2 |
and his gay eyes | 2 |
sense of the sacredness | 2 |
which was the most | 2 |
the state house grounds | 2 |
to have fun with | 2 |
so much that he | 2 |
we do not see | 2 |
did not occur to | 2 |
i believe he would | 2 |
a personal interest in | 2 |
not believe he could | 2 |
she was the first | 2 |
things common to all | 2 |
would have been if | 2 |
to see us in | 2 |
went so far in | 2 |
island which the howells | 2 |
as so many of | 2 |
go home without visiting | 2 |
ingratitude from those he | 2 |
despised the avoidance of | 2 |
the wisdom of the | 2 |
i had written for | 2 |
conceived the notion of | 2 |
lamb found the best | 2 |
his coming almost killed | 2 |
detail of the time | 2 |
a mistaken social ideal | 2 |
have some of them | 2 |
talk not to me | 2 |
what he wanted to | 2 |
the columbus streets that | 2 |
state journal office i | 2 |
not feel the effect | 2 |
human motive was not | 2 |
as if she would | 2 |
i knew of it | 2 |
himself out of the | 2 |
would have been glad | 2 |
a sort of remote | 2 |
the line of my | 2 |
the fugitive slave law | 2 |
see the author of | 2 |
what he was saying | 2 |
the gentleman who had | 2 |
a man more regardful | 2 |
farther flight than now | 2 |
miami canal at hamilton | 2 |
seems to me not | 2 |
as pepys would say | 2 |
should talk if you | 2 |
i was not to | 2 |
the republic of letters | 2 |
in the course of | 2 |
the fine world of | 2 |
sitting with him in | 2 |
verses of mine which | 2 |
upon him through a | 2 |
they could not have | 2 |
candle burning on the | 2 |
did not concern me | 2 |
the scorn of scorn | 2 |
to have heard him | 2 |
revolver without bringing down | 2 |
with the charm of | 2 |
only the other day | 2 |
he came and went | 2 |
of the common in | 2 |
always felt when wrong | 2 |
still seems to me | 2 |
have always found the | 2 |
put his name to | 2 |
not know how long | 2 |
i did not go | 2 |
when i said i | 2 |
no harm at this | 2 |
at last in the | 2 |
of the medical college | 2 |
but it had been | 2 |
for he did not | 2 |
he recurred to the | 2 |
if he was half | 2 |
the wrong end of | 2 |
one concerned who was | 2 |
in spite of this | 2 |
of a hygienic sort | 2 |
had the heart to | 2 |
to fill the whole | 2 |
i could not keep | 2 |
as far as they | 2 |
he never could get | 2 |
which he seemed to | 2 |
in a moment of | 2 |
came that the boy | 2 |
i was a boy | 2 |
that he had got | 2 |
one might very well | 2 |
person who wished to | 2 |
know that he had | 2 |
never met him in | 2 |
i am in doubt | 2 |
of the earlier time | 2 |
and price and i | 2 |
if they were not | 2 |
was full of the | 2 |
a preference for the | 2 |
have fun with it | 2 |
it was the law | 2 |
so as to get | 2 |
sight and sound of | 2 |
seemed to be for | 2 |
had sat upon it | 2 |
we walked up and | 2 |
we did not see | 2 |
his temperament was not | 2 |
felt to have been | 2 |
to talk of it | 2 |
soul were with those | 2 |
till he had made | 2 |
of the southern ideal | 2 |
for those who needed | 2 |
in the older west | 2 |
cambridge without open shame | 2 |
liked to speak of | 2 |
that he never saw | 2 |
of it as a | 2 |
on my return from | 2 |
of the other world | 2 |
i did not try | 2 |
without meaning and without | 2 |
he liked to tease | 2 |
that he should like | 2 |
like one of ourselves | 2 |
i ought to be | 2 |
he had made you | 2 |
was in no hurry | 2 |
things and great things | 2 |
and it is known | 2 |
come to recognize as | 2 |
before i saw him | 2 |
must have been difficult | 2 |
of it to the | 2 |
the dante club were | 2 |
i have the sense | 2 |
the war which had | 2 |
how it was that | 2 |
state house grounds toward | 2 |
boston hour of two | 2 |
himself the prey of | 2 |
of them as i | 2 |
have sorrowed deepest will | 2 |
that this was my | 2 |
to this day i | 2 |
tenderness out of his | 2 |
a dignitary of the | 2 |
a true sense of | 2 |
this might have been | 2 |
that he was an | 2 |
and i saw the | 2 |
and the odor of | 2 |
and perhaps if i | 2 |
memory will not be | 2 |
he had taken his | 2 |
or at least a | 2 |
to me at the | 2 |
house bills and senate | 2 |
of men and things | 2 |
he introduced me to | 2 |
those who knew him | 2 |
do not recall what | 2 |
he had a fine | 2 |
now that it was | 2 |
me of the other | 2 |
he might not have | 2 |
had been received with | 2 |
belief that he did | 2 |
was at home with | 2 |
along just like the | 2 |
front of the building | 2 |
in the hands of | 2 |
who is universally interesting | 2 |
should have thought it | 2 |
been too bad to | 2 |
the sense of the | 2 |
i had done my | 2 |
to be of a | 2 |
the fault of the | 2 |
him because he was | 2 |
only be sure that | 2 |
without the ability to | 2 |
and i knew that | 2 |
of the young people | 2 |
even when they wronged | 2 |
how it should remain | 2 |
which he said he | 2 |
and he came back | 2 |
to their tenderness out | 2 |
not blame him for | 2 |
so far forget myself | 2 |
as much as his | 2 |
have never been able | 2 |
he did not always | 2 |
after a while he | 2 |
that i had in | 2 |
which he wore in | 2 |
company of a young | 2 |
i have heard a | 2 |
those days i was | 2 |
charles lamb found the | 2 |
i am aware that | 2 |
twenty dollars a month | 2 |
with some of the | 2 |
who had been in | 2 |
such a thing as | 2 |
flowers with which we | 2 |
if it had not | 2 |
spare his years the | 2 |
might have thought the | 2 |
and he was most | 2 |
the table at his | 2 |
comes across the abysm | 2 |
because i felt that | 2 |
the story of my | 2 |
spent most of the | 2 |
if i could find | 2 |
human nature which it | 2 |
do not know but | 2 |
clemens to write like | 2 |
dignity of the senate | 2 |
it seems as if | 2 |
contributors to the atlantic | 2 |
to our boy when | 2 |
it was to have | 2 |
seen through the wrong | 2 |
that he had the | 2 |
lifting of the eyebrows | 2 |
could not afford to | 2 |
what i should have | 2 |
table at his elbow | 2 |
and after that came | 2 |
american house to take | 2 |
which he had so | 2 |
for what he gave | 2 |
true to an ideal | 2 |
it was the beginning | 2 |
firing the southern heart | 2 |
i shall never finish | 2 |
if i should ever | 2 |
i had so often | 2 |
at columbus viewed from | 2 |
the rude conditions of | 2 |
he told me of | 2 |
it had been his | 2 |
said he had been | 2 |
it was worth it | 2 |
sat down at table | 2 |
the income of the | 2 |
to return to columbus | 2 |
i look back upon | 2 |
of the war which | 2 |
was on my way | 2 |
the spectacle of my | 2 |
caught in earnest about | 2 |
and it was only | 2 |
he had finished it | 2 |
doctor edward everett hale | 2 |
to them alone really | 2 |
he was eager to | 2 |
not much of a | 2 |
that much of his | 2 |
discomfort which mistaken or | 2 |
the broad flight of | 2 |
have regarded them as | 2 |
in the last analysis | 2 |
said that he believed | 2 |
as if destiny had | 2 |
his youth had been | 2 |
to me a very | 2 |
that once when i | 2 |
we have never ended | 2 |
never heard of him | 2 |
a bit of the | 2 |
came to an end | 2 |
when i read it | 2 |
who was quite unconcerned | 2 |
men i have known | 2 |
to talk about the | 2 |
was so proud of | 2 |
awe of him as | 2 |
of the time in | 2 |
there were none of | 2 |
a corner of the | 2 |
met in the street | 2 |
looking into the state | 2 |
those who do the | 2 |
his cottage at york | 2 |
he could not be | 2 |
for the things i | 2 |
but there was not | 2 |
i would not go | 2 |
if he were still | 2 |
it was the day | 2 |
spiritually overtops the alps | 2 |
espoused the theory of | 2 |
this young man worthy | 2 |
fear that in the | 2 |
was nothing to be | 2 |
have no grudge left | 2 |
to his cambridge host | 2 |
never saw a dead | 2 |
him when they doubted | 2 |
first it had been | 2 |
i could tell him | 2 |
the writers nearer home | 2 |
pride or rose above | 2 |
who are so often | 2 |
the saturday press of | 2 |
he owned that he | 2 |
western bank of the | 2 |
a thing could be | 2 |
last time i was | 2 |
a cause of bitterness | 2 |
to the measure of | 2 |
at any rate he | 2 |
standards were their own | 2 |
the banks of the | 2 |
sense of beauty in | 2 |
i have been trying | 2 |
i could make it | 2 |
i had been writing | 2 |
he was out of | 2 |
reason to think that | 2 |
sense of the situation | 2 |
as best he could | 2 |
now that i was | 2 |
they had to be | 2 |
the popularity of the | 2 |
as if he liked | 2 |
and that he was | 2 |
talk was still of | 2 |
as i can testify | 2 |
i was at that | 2 |
no part of his | 2 |
given him by a | 2 |
asked me to dinner | 2 |
was full of their | 2 |
that if it had | 2 |
him to be when | 2 |
my sense of the | 2 |
and i went about | 2 |
i remained in the | 2 |
for which he was | 2 |
in due time the | 2 |
i perceived that this | 2 |
i found him sitting | 2 |
which had a certain | 2 |
my heart in my | 2 |
of steps before the | 2 |
the other world than | 2 |
of that literary boston | 2 |
wished to talk when | 2 |
to the effect of | 2 |
arrests and rescues of | 2 |
we garland our despair | 2 |
he could have had | 2 |
and so was the | 2 |
the time of it | 2 |
and the intrusion of | 2 |
heart i did not | 2 |
in one of our | 2 |
i sometimes saw him | 2 |
said that he could | 2 |
to meet him at | 2 |
the facts of the | 2 |
if you are to | 2 |
could not have had | 2 |
on the western bank | 2 |
i find this young | 2 |
whom he had known | 2 |
it will not be | 2 |
disposition to speak of | 2 |
of the people who | 2 |
when he asked if | 2 |
in the same city | 2 |
to write him a | 2 |
which my father had | 2 |
to have no grudge | 2 |
will you say to | 2 |
but i have not | 2 |
to establish the fact | 2 |
out to dine with | 2 |
already begun to be | 2 |
no record of the | 2 |
and i look back | 2 |
but i have the | 2 |
of the fine world | 2 |
they had not been | 2 |
say that he was | 2 |
not have felt so | 2 |
went one evening to | 2 |
try to reconcile with | 2 |
and it would not | 2 |
my father and i | 2 |
this time he was | 2 |
would have had the | 2 |
and they were satisfied | 2 |
weak against the strong | 2 |
i have a sense | 2 |
to me from the | 2 |
a new york paper | 2 |
for all i know | 2 |
no doubt he would | 2 |
one else who saw | 2 |
i was not ashamed | 2 |
but we had not | 2 |
but i have never | 2 |
not bored because he | 2 |
not write a novel | 2 |
was not all poetry | 2 |
love of freedom and | 2 |
no reason that i | 2 |
many of his friends | 2 |
as it was then | 2 |
fatigue of recalling your | 2 |
not know why i | 2 |
and i remember the | 2 |
to the day of | 2 |
canal at dayton as | 2 |
was fine to see | 2 |
i think he must | 2 |
was to have been | 2 |
and in fact he | 2 |
dinner served in courses | 2 |
openly poor in cambridge | 2 |
such ire in heavenly | 2 |
of print forbids my | 2 |
overlooking the island which | 2 |
of a century in | 2 |
was years before i | 2 |
but it is now | 2 |
the memory of that | 2 |
the miami canal at | 2 |
so i do not | 2 |
he took up the | 2 |
and we do not | 2 |
heroes nor in saints | 2 |
do what he could | 2 |
in keeping with his | 2 |
of his and mine | 2 |
which i may have | 2 |
it put up to | 2 |
city where money counts | 2 |
those luncheons and dinners | 2 |
them in the same | 2 |

my salary of ten | 2 |
been passed in the | 2 |
him to be known | 2 |
he had written the | 2 |
and how when he | 2 |
reason that i can | 2 |
in courses that i | 2 |
was to be in | 2 |
have the impression that | 2 |
might not wish to | 2 |
was not a good | 2 |
and for many years | 2 |
on the grand canal | 2 |
i hardly know how | 2 |
i must have gone | 2 |
absolute devotion to the | 2 |
there in saint louis | 2 |
the effect of being | 2 |
much as his friends | 2 |
of great impersonal cordiality | 2 |
it was as well | 2 |
on the present moment | 2 |
do the hard work | 2 |
side of the tail | 2 |
whether it would be | 2 |
if it did not | 2 |
any of the other | 2 |
the freshness of the | 2 |
the impression of an | 2 |
but i have only | 2 |
in the confession of | 2 |
with those who had | 2 |

it was very cold | 2 |
you should talk if | 2 |
from his home in | 2 |

his relations with the | 2 |
if i had written | 2 |
and soul were with | 2 |
of a wise man | 2 |
the first winter of | 2 |
where he was to | 2 |
the abysm of the | 2 |
out of work is | 2 |
get him to write | 2 |
such as it was | 2 |
and when the first | 2 |
i felt the charm | 2 |
of this in the | 2 |
of the fugitive slave | 2 |
nearly nothing as chaos | 2 |
was so much more | 2 |
with an effect of | 2 |
the pleasure of the | 2 |
i could not find | 2 |
i cared more to | 2 |
for the time being | 2 |
came a time when | 2 |
i do not call | 2 |
at the parker house | 2 |
nearly every one had | 2 |
he gets twenty dollars | 2 |
he could not help | 2 |
never have been a | 2 |
the talk did not | 2 |
but i thought it | 2 |
which i had fondly | 2 |
had worn himself out | 2 |
or to affirm it | 2 |
happened to speak of | 2 |
and he was in | 2 |
not know that i | 2 |

asked me whether i | 2 |

a time when the | 2 |

to him as the | 2 |
what he could to | 2 |
the glow of a | 2 |
had been his own | 2 |
very long before he | 2 |

after we went to | 2 |

but it was in | 2 |
do not think any | 2 |
as he was apt | 2 |
the autocrat of the | 2 |
wit that tries its | 2 |
in the memoir which | 2 |
of the legislature in | 2 |
he had just been | 2 |
passed daily while he | 2 |
long time after the | 2 |
while he roomed in | 2 |
while i was there | 2 |
the last of the | 2 |
in awe of him | 2 |
at the time it | 2 |
and he had not | 2 |

because he was so | 2 |
hearing on one side | 2 |
been a country boy | 2 |
did not see why | 2 |
could not write a | 2 |
that i ought to | 2 |
the love of love | 2 |
yet i can remember | 2 |
if destiny had sat | 2 |
the long day was | 2 |
and left him to | 2 |
and then we had | 2 |
house on concord avenue | 2 |
that they were of | 2 |

bills and senate bills | 2 |
sorry that he could | 2 |

vague conjectures to the | 2 |

he began to talk | 2 |
that we could not | 2 |
hardly know how to | 2 |
abandoned canal at dayton | 2 |
seemed to me the | 2 |
i had been the | 2 |
as often as he | 2 |
in those earlier days | 2 |

so much as for | 2 |
care much for fiction | 2 |
i have never yet | 2 |
i went back to | 2 |
impart the sense of | 2 |

thought it bad taste | 2 |
were interested in my | 2 |
with my father and | 2 |
was of the nature | 2 |
but i cannot recall | 2 |
house grounds toward the | 2 |
if i had spoken | 2 |
with the effect of | 2 |
dollars were of so | 2 |
was a touch of | 2 |
out good things and | 2 |
sought the things that | 2 |
one of the columbus | 2 |
to take part in | 2 |
themselves out in trying | 2 |
he could have said | 2 |
me at the time | 2 |
with me in the | 2 |
must have had some | 2 |
would not let him | 2 |
in the hour of | 2 |
i believe neither in | 2 |
where he wished to | 2 |
hate the past so | 2 |
best thing in life | 2 |
said that it was | 2 |
to share with him | 2 |
ire in heavenly minds | 2 |
through a cloud of | 2 |
disparity of our ages | 2 |
it was after a | 2 |
addressed to their tenderness | 2 |
dawn upon him through | 2 |
i had ever seen | 2 |
before he sat down | 2 |
so often tedious and | 2 |
he was not bored | 2 |
liked being with you | 2 |
in the closing months | 2 |
sellers in the play | 2 |
much as i could | 2 |
when the water was | 2 |
little miami river at | 2 |
height which spiritually overtops | 2 |
never saw a man | 2 |
till i began to | 2 |
do not pretend that | 2 |
and one day the | 2 |
the control of the | 2 |
and many years afterward | 2 |
on the corner of | 2 |
were too far off | 2 |
found him there in | 2 |
as it appears on | 2 |
life rather than to | 2 |
forget myself as to | 2 |
at one end of | 2 |
that it had been | 2 |
and in this as | 2 |
and i said that | 2 |
i ever saw him | 2 |
in a corner by | 2 |
press of new york | 2 |
in the stock exchange | 2 |
went on to speak | 2 |
and i fancy he | 2 |
the song to the | 2 |
word came that the | 2 |
and i can be | 2 |
i went to the | 2 |
me that it would | 2 |
the least of my | 2 |
talk when he could | 2 |
any one who would | 2 |
to the magazines in | 2 |
fell under his condemnation | 2 |
talk as i had | 2 |
the emanations of a | 2 |
by my pride and | 2 |
he was in no | 2 |
out of it all | 2 |
he wished to talk | 2 |
wise man content to | 2 |
to men who have | 2 |
and his face had | 2 |
gigantic coarseness of california | 2 |
the world is well | 2 |
lost the habit of | 2 |
in a sort of | 2 |
be able to remember | 2 |
youngest daughter of the | 2 |
and his voice was | 2 |
across the abysm of | 2 |
i will not try | 2 |
could have had a | 2 |
the city from the | 2 |
of the new state | 2 |
i met doctor holmes | 2 |
rarely spoke of himself | 2 |
had a kind of | 2 |
i said to myself | 2 |
in the wrong place | 2 |
it was because i | 2 |
had been meant for | 2 |
it does not matter | 2 |
on the state street | 2 |
i think that with | 2 |
as i do now | 2 |
not occur to me | 2 |
patience with the unmanly | 2 |
we could see the | 2 |
could not believe that | 2 |
i did not attempt | 2 |
and one of these | 2 |
had come home from | 2 |
and almost nothing of | 2 |
remains to me of | 2 |
with which we garland | 2 |
enough for us to | 2 |
my mother and he | 2 |
he would never have | 2 |
what i can to | 2 |
it was a magnificent | 2 |
which we garland our | 2 |
his whole being in | 2 |
come back to him | 2 |
which i tried to | 2 |
more entirely abhorred slavery | 2 |
except for its gramophones | 2 |
known him so well | 2 |
for those luncheons and | 2 |
of the legislature and | 2 |
backed their credulity with | 2 |
do not think there | 2 |
of so much farther | 2 |
my return from venice | 2 |
he did this to | 2 |
i never knew him | 2 |
was one of his | 2 |
more than a quarter | 2 |
he would have done | 2 |
to me that she | 2 |
was a group of | 2 |
people sometimes put up | 2 |
when i think of | 2 |
for a while he | 2 |
i suppose that if | 2 |
the great miami river | 2 |
do not remember that | 2 |
he had begun to | 2 |
we had the company | 2 |
we were both so | 2 |
keep in mind the | 2 |
best talkers are willing | 2 |
to us after the | 2 |
beyond the range of | 2 |
and great things for | 2 |
the moment when i | 2 |
life of lincoln which | 2 |
to show his affection | 2 |
could not tell him | 2 |
a century in the | 2 |
in his appeal to | 2 |
because it did not | 2 |
i remember very well | 2 |
in more than one | 2 |
in his old study | 2 |
long before he came | 2 |
he wished to do | 2 |
which i was constantly | 2 |
many things in verse | 2 |
of the experiences of | 2 |
hard of hearing on | 2 |
i found him with | 2 |
once told me that | 2 |
when my father came | 2 |
in the early spring | 2 |
he did not try | 2 |
when i used to | 2 |
would have thought it | 2 |
from the love of | 2 |
my house in cambridge | 2 |
to live in boston | 2 |
not there to your | 2 |
to be a poet | 2 |
to him when he | 2 |

he roomed in the | 2 |
there came a time | 2 |
was an effect of | 2 |

either to deny the | 2 |
he agreed with me | 2 |
is that of a | 2 |
know when i could | 2 |
denied access to him | 2 |
pathos of revolt from | 2 |
the last of his | 2 |
he wanted to do | 2 |
man ever yet told | 2 |
that when i came | 2 |
believe neither in heroes | 2 |
first he would have | 2 |
and the things of | 2 |
i wish now i | 2 |
right as to the | 2 |
in my old age | 2 |
must have been some | 2 |
the literary youth of | 2 |
flatter myself that i | 2 |
i want to be | 2 |
i would rather have | 2 |
stood close to the | 2 |
on the floor of | 2 |
men who have done | 2 |
the other day i | 2 |
believe it was that | 2 |
after so many years | 2 |
i do not like | 2 |
he began to speak | 2 |
the author of the | 2 |
in the spring of | 2 |
enough to satisfy the | 2 |
him one of the | 2 |

he was suffering from | 2 |

on in the house | 2 |
of the consul at | 2 |

i met him once | 2 |
the men whose names | 2 |
in the heat of | 2 |
my love of her | 2 |
he may have been | 2 |
can do no harm | 2 |
i did not care | 2 |
me that when he | 2 |
yet told the truth | 2 |
have gone back to | 2 |
mansion in which he | 2 |
in the very last | 2 |
with the pulse of | 2 |
told the truth about | 2 |
for more and goes | 2 |
i blame myself for | 2 |
first two or three | 2 |
there was a superstition | 2 |

it was always the | 2 |
the south to the | 2 |
it was under the | 2 |
do not forget the | 2 |
make the least of | 2 |
had nearly been my | 2 |
many of his poems | 2 |
to me how it | 2 |
he was then in | 2 |
the end i did | 2 |
sacrificed the song to | 2 |
from one reform to | 2 |
it touches me to | 2 |
in new york for | 2 |
but i remember nothing | 2 |
and we provided that | 2 |
speak of him as | 2 |
of work is industrially | 2 |
i should say he | 2 |
when we were all | 2 |
either below our pride | 2 |
and then it was | 2 |
boston and new york | 2 |
in anything but hopes | 2 |
i was not only | 2 |
beginning to make her | 2 |
come to him in | 2 |
and last in the | 2 |
do not know just | 2 |
life was not all | 2 |
in the lives of | 2 |
rock of human credulity | 2 |
i had to suffer | 2 |
new york and the | 2 |

nothing for me to | 2 |

should not have liked | 2 |
to batten on him | 2 |
again and again in | 2 |
on the table at | 2 |
through the united states | 2 |
use any word that | 2 |
i might have thought | 2 |
a much longer time | 2 |
kept to the end | 2 |
his age of sixty | 2 |
liked to deal with | 2 |
i look back at | 2 |
was a youth to | 2 |
i heard that he | 2 |
i had known in | 2 |
last over from one | 2 |
where money counts for | 2 |

very much my senior | 2 |
would not be very | 2 |

he was very constant | 2 |
week after week the | 2 |
first days of his | 2 |
credulity with their credit | 2 |

seemed to doubt whether | 2 |
there had come the | 2 |

a long time after | 2 |

he would have liked | 2 |
came so near being | 2 |
any rate i did | 2 |

public use of his | 2 |
he sat down at | 2 |
of what we had | 2 |
lost whenever the world | 2 |
to be called upon | 2 |
took themselves so seriously | 2 |
gives the impression of | 2 |
a place in the | 2 |
better than any one | 2 |
i wanted to know | 2 |
of the talk toward | 2 |

he followed me to | 2 |
but i remember the | 2 |
the living and the | 2 |
the money for the | 2 |
for his simon kenton | 2 |

it appeared that the | 2 |
that we did not | 2 |
