For all his Americanism, the heart of him stayed stoutly in tune with the brave old [ 52] heart of England as it has throbbed through the ages. He could give strong blows without malice, and take them un- resenting. He would not have been himself if his temper had not rung true as steel. That vibrant note is not only Ameri can; it is English, too. Once they can hear it amid the trou blous discords of any passing time, Englishmen and Americans alike must wonderingly feel how it can ultimately re...solve discord into harmony. A little while ago I recalled how, so lately as 1877, a Bos- tonian, asked in London whether he knew Mr. Lowell, hon estly answered "Which?" Five years later, there could have been no such doubt; and such a doubt can hardly occur again. The sturdy virtue of the native stock he sprang from will long be remembered in New England; alone of its scions, though, he chanced to prove its virtue before the eyes of the whole English-speaking world. The window which com memorates him at Westminster Abbey is a tribute not to his kinsmen or to his countrymen but to him, as he faithfully em bodied kinsmen, and countrymen and kinship a little more than kin even though less than kind.
