For the immediate sacrifice was very real to a youth trainedin quietism and non-resistance, and well aware, as a Whig journalist, of the ostracism visited upon the active Abolitionists. Whittierentered the fight with absolute courage and with the shrewdest practicaljudgment of weapons and tactics. He forgot himself. He turned aside fromthose pleasant fields of New England legend and history to which he wasdestined to return after his warfare was accomplished. He had read theprose of Milton and ...of Burke. He perceived that negro emancipation inthe United States was only a single and immediate phase of a universalmovement of liberalism. The thought kindled his imagination. He wrote, at white heat, political and social verse that glowed with humanitarianpassion: lyrics in praise of fellow-workers, salutes to the dead, campaign songs, hymns, satires against the clergy and the capitalists, superb sectional poems like "Massachusetts to Virginia, " and, more noblystill, poems embodying what Wordsworth called "the sensation and imageof country and the human race.
