Sinopsis
Excerpt from Daniel Ricketson and His Friends: Letters, Poems, Sketches, Etc
Born to a modest competence, and infected with that taste for free thinking and social reform which was the prevalent contagion in New England from 1830 to 1860, Mr. Ricketson, though studious in the classics and in English literature, and versed in the elements of law, could not subject himself to the requirements Of a college, or the indignities Of an ordinary law practice; and so devoted himself to rural pursuits, philanthropy, and literature, emulous Of Cowper and the rural poets, and fond of the correspondence Of literary men in America and Europe. His Quaker antecedents made him an abolitionist his aversion to tame conformity drew him towards the society Of men like Thoreau, while his love of music and hospitality attracted to his pleasant home men of society, like his lifelong friend, George William Curtis.

A Memorial
To Daniel Ricketson
And His Friends
The Thoreaus
What greetings smile, what farewells wave,
What loved ones enter and depart;
The good, the beautiful, the brave,
The heaven lent treasures of the heart;
How conscious seems the frozen sod,
And beechen slope whereon they trod;
The oak leaves rustle, and the dry grass bends,
Beneath the shadowy feet of lost or absent friends.
Whittier.

Thoreau and his circle, uncovering the connections between his writings and friends to the wider movements of 19th-century American literature.
