He was Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. She was Mary Storer Potter, daughter of a local judge. . Longfellow had acribbled verse in college, but he had thought so poorly of his powers as a poet that he had long since given up all efforte at verse-writing, and devoted himself to his work as a professor and tc echolarly articles for literary reviews. It remained for heartbreak to reawaken his genius and to give the world his deathless poetry; and |: | remained for Mary Potter, who loved him, to bring about that heartbreak. Longfellow's salary as @ professor at Bowdoin was $800 a year. 1881 it was rained to $1,000. And on that sum he married.

In a few days he was dead. And there, in a foreign land, she was burled. ‘The stricken young husband sought to forget his grief in lonely travel and in work. Sorrow had stirred to life his poetic genius. in verse he fount @ vent for the grief that was crushing him. Soon after h to America he published two of his most famous short poems, of Life’ and “The Reaper and the Flowers." Both of these show the terrible struggle of a human soul to reconcile itself to a dear one's death. From that hour Longfellow's fame as a poet was assured. Bui another woman than she whose loss had inspired his m: to reap the benefits. Not long after Mary's death, and while he was still wandering in aimless misery through Murope, the young widower chanced to meet at Interlaken a fellow-Americon, Miss Frances Appleton. Between the two sprang up a warm friendship. Though it was several years before that friendehip bloomed into avowed love, yet Longfellow admired Mis: Appleton tremendously, and after his return to Massachusetts he becam#s an almost daily cajler at her father's Boston home. His was a literary wooing. He wrote his novel, “Hyperion.” and he frankly drew the character of Mary Ashburton, its heroine, from France: Appleton—even though he gave his heroine his first wife's Christian name. Describing Frances in this book, he spoke of her as “majestic of figure, her every atep, her every attitude, graceful, yet lofty, us if inspired by the soul within.” It was the beauty of “Hyperion” and the glowing tribut it paid to her own charms that won Mrances's consent to Longfellow's sult They were married in 1843. and thr There th It was an ideal union.
