Louise Chandler Moulton, Poet and Friend

"Louise Chandler Moulton, Poet and Friend" by Lilian Whiting is a memoir about Moulton, Louise Chandler (1835-1908). Excerpt: «Her life, as well as her art, expressed her gift of song. She was a poet not only in singing, but no less in living. Her friendships were singularly wide and eclectic, determined always from the inner vision. They were the friendships of mutual recognition and of sympathetic-3- ministry. Her tenderness of feeling responded to every human need. Others might turn away from the unattractive; to her the simple fact that kindness was needed was a claim which she could not deny.»
