...league worthy of the name. As President Lowell showed so clearly a League of Nations must include certain minimum stipulations to which the signatories will agree: Senator Lodge seemed to oppose even those minimum stipulations. President Wilson has, by his ill advised action, laid the Covenant of Paris wide open to political attack, and some Republicans though Senator Lodge is of course not among them--are opposing the Democratic administration by attacking the League. When the revised plan is presented to the United States for its consideration and approval it must not in any way be regarded as a party...

Lowell drew intellectual stimulus from enormously wide reading in classical and modern literatures. Puritanically earnest by inheritance, he seems also to have inherited a strain of levity which he could not always control, and, through his mother's family, a dash of mysticism sometimes resembling second sight. His physical and mental powers were not always in the happiest mutual adjustment: he became easily the prey of moods and fancies, and knew the alternations from wild gaiety of spirits to black despair...
