Every time my fire plays out, or for satisfying certain personal necessities I must run across the meadow, I reminiscence most yearningly for my suite in Dunster House. It's the physical aspect of Oxford that impresses one first. Architecturally, Oxford is a mediaeval jewel; and there are enough dreamy Towers to support a colony of vagabonds.

As a propagandist, her industry in writing about poets and poetry was only surpassed by her industry in talking about them. The most truly astounding aspect of her work for "the new poetry" is surely the indefatigableness she displayed in her lectures. She talked from Maine to Texas; and though it is said that no man is a prophet in his own country, Miss Lowell could jam Paine Hall and the lecture-room at the Boston...
