No one could speak for thinking what he must be thinking of whenthe ineffable calamity of his home befell it. Curtis once told me that alittle while before Mrs. Longfellow's death he was driving by CraigieHouse with Holmes, who said be trembled to look at it, for those wholived there had their happiness so perfect that no change, of all thechanges which must come to them, could fail to be for the worse. I didnot know Longfellow before that fatal time, and I shall not say that hispresence bore r...ecord of it except in my fancy. He may always have hadthat look of one who had experienced the utmost harm that fate can do, and henceforth could possess himself of what was left of life in peace. He could never have been a man of the flowing ease that makes all comersat home; some people complained of a certain 'gene' in him; and he had areserve with strangers, which never quite lost itself in the abandon offriendship, as Lowell's did. He was the most perfectly modest man I eversaw, ever imagined, but he had a gentle dignity which I do not believeany one, the coarsest, the obtusest, could trespass upon.
