Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Chapter 16: literary life in Cambridge (search)
unequivocal, low water mark in the intellectual product with which he has to deal. This book, Kavanagh, had the curious fate of bringing great disappointment to most of his friends and admirers, and in the hands of Mary Wilkins, Sarah Jewett, and Rowland Robinson, it is difficult to revert to Kavanagh (1849) without feeling that it is from beginning to end a piece of purely academic literature wt it.

Yet at their best, they are sometimes pungent and telling, as where he says, When looking for anything lost, begin by looking where you think it is not; or, Silence is a great peace-maker; or, In youth all doors open outward; in old age they all open inward, or, more thoughtfully, Amusements are like specie payments. We do not much care for them, if we know we can have them; but w
