William L. Clements Library The University of Michigan D.N. Diedrich Collection Eugene Field Papers Field, Eugene Papers, 1873 January 10-1893 December 2 15 items Background note: Among the important figures in American journalism during the Gilded Age, Eugene Field stands out for his originality, productivity and energy, as well as for his odd and occasionally outrageous sense of humor. A native westerner of New England extraction, Field made efforts only partially successful to study at Williams College, Knox College, and the University of Missouri, before leaving behind his education in 1873 to marry sixteen year old Julia Sutherland Comstock. While it cannot be said that Field's marriage sobered him up, it provided him with a partner to share in his eccentricities and to watch over his finances that were perpetually imperiled by his headlong rush into any number of new enthusiasms. Having disposed of the remnants of a once substantial inheritance on his wedding trip, Field turned to newspaper editing to earn a living. Climbing the journalistic ladder through Saint Joseph, Saint Louis, and Kansas City, Mo., and Denver, Colo., Field arrived at the apex of his profession in 1883 when he joined the staff of the Chicago Morning News. His editorial column, "Sharps and Flats," earned him a wide readership, providing an original concoction of serious poetry and prose leavened with broad doses of humor, whimsy and satire. As his column drew a larger and larger readership, Field basked in the light of minor celebrity, becoming a much sought-after speaker on the lecture circuit, and a best-selling author of light verse, serious poetry and prose . After moving to Chicago, he indulged an increasingly serious interest in collecting rare books and fine printing, and wrote two popular works on the subject, including a posthumously-published "imaginary autobiography,"

The Truth about Horace By Eugene Field Presented by Michael Gilleland Horace was a favorite of the American poet and journalist Eugene Field (1850-1895), who together with his brother Roswell Martin Field translated many of Horace's poems in Echoes from the Sabine Farm . In "The Truth about Horace," published in his Western and Other Verse , Eugene Field gently chides the professors for their efforts to conceal from their students the Roman poet's amorous adventures. It is very aggravating To hear the solemn prating Of the fossils who are stating That old Horace was a prude; When we know that with the ladies He was always raising Hades, And with many an escapade his Best productions were imbued. There's really not much harm in a Large number of his carmina, But these people find alarm in a Few records of his acts; So they'd squelch the muse caloric, And to students sophomoric They'd present as metaphoric What old Horace meant as facts. We have always thought 'em lazy; Now we adjudge 'em crazy! Why, Horace was a daisy That was very much alive! And the wisest of us know him As his Lydia verses show him, Go, read that virile poem, It is No. 25. He was a very owl, sir, And starting out to prowl, sir, You bet he made Rome howl, sir, Until he filled his date; With a massic-laden ditty And a classic maiden pretty He painted up the city, And Maecenas paid the freight!

Brain Strain Fun Stuff The Facts Other Site Map The Sugar-Plum Tree By Eugene Field Have you ever heard of the Sugar-Plum Tree? 'Tis a marvel of great renown! It blooms on the shore of the Lollypop Sea In the garden of Shut-Eye Town; The fruit that it bears is so wondrously sweet (As those who have tasted it say) That good little children have only to eat Of that fruit to be happy next day. When you've got to the tree, you would have a hard time To capture the fruit which I sing; The tree is so tall that no person could climb To the boughs where the sugar-plums swing! But up in that tree sits a chocolate cat, And a ginger bread dog prowls below- And this is the way you contrive to get at Those sugar-plums tempting you so: You say but the word to that gingerbread dog And he barks with such a terrible zest That the chocolate cat is at once all agog

Poems in Praise of Food by Eugene Field Presented by Michael Gilleland Despite (or perhaps because of) the severe indigestion which plagued him, American poet and journalist Eugene Field (1850-1895) was a connoisseur of hearty, simple food. Here are some of his humorous poems in praise of food, reprinted from The Poems of Eugene Field (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1924). Apple-Pie and Cheese Gosling Stew The Fisherman's Feast The Onion Tart ... Home Apple-Pie and Cheese Full many a sinful notion Conceived of foreign powers Has come across the ocean To harm this land of ours; And heresies called fashions Have modestly effaced, And baleful morbid passions Corrupt our native taste. O tempora! O mores! What profanations these That seek to dim the glories Of apple-pie and cheese! I'm glad my education Enables me to stand Against the vile temptation Held out on every hand; Eschewing all the tittles With vanity replete, I'm loyal to the victuals Our grandsires used to eat! I'm glad I've got three willing boys To hang around and tease Their mother for the filling joys Of apple-pie and cheese! Your flavored creams and ices And your dainty angel-food Are mighty fine devices To regale the dainty dude; Your terrapin and oysters, With wine to wash 'em down, Are just the thing for roisters When painting of the town; No flippant, sugared notion Shall my appetite appease, Or bate my soul's devotion To apple-pie and cheese! The pie my Julia makes me (God bless her Yankee ways!) On memory's pinions takes me To dear Green Mountain days; And seems like I see Mother Lean on the window-sill, A-handin' me and brother What she knows'll keep us still; And these feelings are so grateful, Says I, "Julia, if you please, I'll take another plateful Of that apple-pie and cheese!" And cheese! No alien it, sir, That's brought across the sea, No Dutch antique, nor Switzer, Nor glutinous de Brie; There's nothing I abhor so As mawmets of this ilk Give

SEARCH: a valentine to my wife by Eugene Field (1850-1895) Accept, dear girl, this little token, And if between the lines you seek, You 'll find the love I 've often spoken- The love my dying lips shall speak. Our little ones are making merry O'er am'rous ditties rhymed in jest, But in these words (though awkward-very) The genuine article 's expressed. You are as fair and sweet and tender, Dear brown-eyed little sweetheart mine, As when, a callow youth and slender, I asked to be your Valentine. What though these years of ours be fleeting? What though the years of youth be flown? I 'll mock old Tempus with repeating, "I love my love and her alone!" And when I fall before his reaping, And when my stuttering speech is dumb, Think not my love is dead or sleeping, But that it waits for you to come. So take, dear love, this little token, And if there speaks in any line The sentiment I 'd fain have spoken

56. 43rd Ward - Public Art McCarten carved such charm out of metal may be a tribute to the man whose childrens poems and lullabies inspired the Dream Lady, Eugene Field (18501895). http://www.chicago43rd.org/PublicArt/Field_MonumentT.html

rd Ward Public Art CATHARINE BELL on THE EUGENE FIELD MEMORIAL (DREAM LADY) Installed 1922 Created by Edward McCartan Located in Lincoln Park Zoo, northeast of the Primate House I originally came across the "Dream Lady" in 1988, on my first day on the job as photographer and writer at Lincoln Park Zoo. Assigned to "wander around zoo grounds and find an interesting story," I had many choices from among the more than 1,500 animals. But I ended up with an unexpected subject. Just outside the northeast corner of the zoo's Primate House, I came upon and angel, graceful and tall in a flowing robe. With wings tucked behind her and arms gently reaching down toward two children asleep at her feet, she appeared to have momentarily alighted from above. It was hard to believe that this delicate creature and tender moment were entirely sculpted in bronze. How sculptor Edward McCarten carved such charm out of metal may be a tribute to the man whose childrens' poems and lullabies inspired the Dream Lady, Eugene Field (1850-1895). Field's poetry was immensely popular with both the children and parents of his time. "The Rock-a-by Lady," one of his most-beloved works, is portrayed here by the Dream Lady herself, while "Wynken, Blynken and Nod," and "The Sugar Plum Tree," two other favorites, are illustrated on carved relief panels which decorate the front of the sculpture's rectangular granite base.
