“After all, when a thought takes one's breath away, a lesson on grammar seems an impertinence.”
Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Poems By Emily Dickinson

“It is no discredit to Walt Whitman that he wrote Leaves of Grass, only that he did not burn it afterwards.”
Thomas Wentworth Higginson

“There may be phrases which shall be palaces to dwell in, treasure-houses to explore; a single word may be a window from which one may perceive all the kingdoms of the earth and the glory of them. Oftentimes a word shall speak what accumulated volumes have labored in vain to utter: there may be years of crowded passion in a word, and half a life in a sentence.”
Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Letter to a Young Contributor
