Description
Excerpt from The City of the Dinner-Pail
Them and pass it by, little knowing the vast ness of its human interest, little dreaming of the poetry that lies beneath the smoke pouring from the factory chimneys. Fortune has never been kinder to me than on the Sunday morning when I first went to service at St. John''s Church, in the City of the dinner-pail. I was a very young man then, but one year out of college, and just commencing business. At the univer sity I had formed many friendships, and had become, by some kindly chance, one of a little company of men, slightly older than myself, living in Boston - an inter esting literary group; all clever men, and some of undoubted though untried genius. Since then one of the number has written some of the sweetest Verses in our language; one has made his name familiar to every lover of Gothic architecture; one has writ ten essays which to me at least are as sweet and fanciful as those of the gentle Elia; and one has painted pictures of rare beauty.
