Oliver Wendell Holmes Biographical Sketch By Horace E. Scudder From the Riverside Edition of The Complete Poetical Works of Oliver Wendell Holmes, DR. HOLMES had much to say in his writings of the problems of heredity, and was apparently as ready to recognize the caprices as the regular action of inherited tendencies. He may have speculated over his own descent when he wrote, in The Poet at the Breakfast-Table, "The various inherited instincts ripen in succession. You may be nine tenths paternal at one period of your life, and nine tenths maternal at another. All at once the traits of some immediate ancestor may come to maturity unexpectedly on one of the branches of your character, just as your features at different periods of your life betray different resemblances to your nearer or more remote relatives." One would fain believe that the thin poetic blood of his early ancestor Anne Bradstreet had been enriched by its secret passage through the veins of several generations before it issued in the warm pulsations of this poet of our day; but as for those generous, even passionate instincts of patriotism, and that strong impulse toward lawful freedom which characterized the wit and philosopher, one may readily take into account the whole strain of Dr. Holmes's ancestry on both sides. With the exception of a Dutch strain a few generations before, these ancestors were of New England origin, going back to the early colonial days. John Holmes, of Puritan birth, settled in Woodstock, Connecticut, in 1686. His grandson, David Holmes, served as captain of British troops in the French and Indian war and later as a surgeon in the Revolutionary army. The son of this David was the Reverend Abiel Holmes, who was graduated at Yale College in 1782, and after a six years' pastorate in Georgia came to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he was pastor over the first parish for forty years, and during his pastorate beside other writings and lectures compiled

[Menu] [Classics] [Home] CONTENTMENT by Oliver Wendell Holmes "Man wants but little here below." Little I ask; my wants are few; I only wish a hut of stone, ( a very plain brown stone will do, ) That I may call my own; - And close at hand is such a one, In yonder street that fronts the sun. Plain food is quite enough for me; Three courses are as good as ten; - If Nature can subsist on three, Thank Heaven for three. Amen I always thought cold victual nice; - My choice would be vanilla-ice. I care not much for gold or land; - Give me a mortgage here and there, - Some good bank-stock, - some note of hand, Or trifling railroad share, - I only ask that Fortune send A little more than I shall spend. Honors are silly toys, I know, And titles are but empty names; I would, perhaps , be Plenipo, - But only near St. James; I'm very sure I should not care To fill our Gubernator's chair. Jewels are bawbles; 't is a sin To care for such unfruitful things; - One good-sized diamond in a pin, - Some, not so large , in rings, - A ruby, and a pearl, or so, Will do for me; - I laugh at show.

Nox Oculis Oliver Wendell Holmes Atlantic Monthly The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table The Chambered Nautilus I love all sights of earth and skies, From flowers that glow to stars that shine ; The comet and the penny show, All curious things, above, below, Hold each in turn my wandering eyes : I claim the Christian Pagan's line, Humani nihil, even so, And is not human life divine ? When soft the western breezes blow, And strolling youths meet sauntering maids, I love to watch the stirring trades Beneath the Vallombrosa shades Our much-enduring elms bestow ; The vender and his rhetoric's flow, That lambent stream of liquid lies ; The bait he dangles from his line, The gudgeon and his gold-washed prize. I halt before the blazoned sign That bids me linger to admire The drama time can never tire, The little hero of the hunch, With iron arm and soul of fire, And will that works his fierce desire, Untamed, unscared, unconquered Punch ! My ear a pleasing torture finds In tones the withered sibyl grinds
