Excerpt from The Literary Remains of the Late Willis Gaylord Clar: Including the Ollapodiana Papers, the Spirit of Life, and a Selection From His Various Prose and Poetical Writings Let me hope, therefore, that the reader will receive my apology for omit ting what I had hoped to be able to present; and accept the following brief Memoir, as embracing all the essential facts in the history of its subject. We quote from the article in graham's Magazine' to which we have al luded: OF the several excellent writers whose names we have placed upon our catalogue as worthy of the honor we intend to do them (a series of portraits of popular Philadelphia authors, accompanied by suitable notices of their lives and works, ) the first we select is that of willis gaylord clark, whose rare abilities as a poet, and whose qualities as a man, justify this distinction. The life of a student is usually, almost necessarily, indeed, uneventful. Dis inclined by habit and association, and generally unfltted by temperament, to mingle in the ruder scenes, the shocks and conflicts that mark the periods of sterner existence, his biography furnishes but few salient points upon which an inquirer can take hold. In the little circle which his affections have gathered around him, he finds abundant sources of enjoyment and inter est; and though the world without may ring with his name, he pursues his quiet and peaceful way, undisturbed by, if not insensible to, its praises. Such has been eminently the case with the subject of this notice. With feelings peculiarly fitted for social and domestic intercourse, and a heart overflowing with the warmest and most generous impulses, and a shrinking sensitiveness to obtrusive public regard, Mr. Clark has always sought those scenes in which, while his talents found free scope, his native modesty was unwounded. And he could exercise without restraint the loftier charities of his nature. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
