They have nothing to do with one another, nor withWashington, nor with any great purpose which all are to work outtogether. March 14th. --On Friday evening I dined at Mr. T. B. Read's, the poet andartist, with a party composed of painters and sculptors, --the onlyexceptions being the American banker and an American tourist who hasgiven Mr. Read a commission. Next to me at table sat Mr. Gibson, theEnglish sculptor, who, I suppose, stands foremost in his profession atthis day. He must be quite an... old man now, for it was whispered aboutthe table that he is known to have been in Rome forty-two years ago, andhe himself spoke to me of spending thirty-seven years here, before heonce returned home. I should hardly take him to be sixty, however, his hair being more dark than gray, his forehead unwrinkled, hisfeatures unwithered, his eye undimmed, though his beard is somewhatvenerable. . . . He has a quiet, self-contained aspect, and, being a bachelor, hasdoubtless spent a calm life among his clay and marble, meddling littlewith the world, and entangling himself with no cares beyond his studio.
