An aspiration for excellence, in its various forms of justice, truth, goodness, and courtesy, 6o George William Curtis ever cast its light before his eyes and ever whispered in his ears, as the sea murmurs in the sea- shell of a vast Beyond which is its proper home. It was this ideality which lured him as a boy to seek a golden age restored in the fra- ternity at Brook Farm ; which led him to the neighborhood of Emerson and Hawthorne, and in after-life gathered around him so many noble friendsh...ips ; which carried him to the sources of civilization in the mystic East, and to its splendid final achievements in Europe ; which, with all his daintiness and reserve, made him so tolerant of uncouth and shambling reformers, in whose strident voices he heard the far-off preludes of coming harmonies ; which opened a door from the severe labors of his every-day hfe into a dream-land of glorious hopes ; which drew the sword of his eloquence against slavery and the unmanly degradations of our civic and political customs ; which scattered so many jewels over his pages, and gave to his style at times the flavor of a luscious old wine, *' with beaded bubbles winking at the brim, " and *' Tasting of Flora and the country green, Dance, and Provengal song, and sun-burned mirth " ; which accounts, too, for an occasional undertone of pensive sadness which escapes him, like the George Williain Curtis 6i sigh of a strong man, and which made him profoundly religious— but with a religion that, defecated of the more acrid creeds, finds in the imperative law of Reverence for Manhood the highest, nay, the only conceivable, realization of an Eternal Love and Wisdom.
