A Place in the Country
1843–1844
(LETTERS 446 TO 517)
BRYANT’s JUBILANT ANNOUNCEMENT to his brother John in February 1843 that he had bought land and planned to build a house on the Long Island shore reflected an overmastering urge to find a permanent home, for, during their eighteen years in New York City, he and Frances had lived at almost an equal number of addresses—not to speak of all the hotels and lodgings they had passed through on their travels. In their impatience to get settled at Hempstead Harbor, renamed Roslyn in 1844, they were occupying before the summer was over an old Quaker farmhouse on the property, and in September Sarah Bryant visited them for several weeks during her first trip to the East since her removal to Illinois in 1835.
Having at last acquired their place in the country, Cullen and Frances traveled southward early in 1843, visiting William Gilmore Simms at his plantation, “Woodlands,” in the interior of South Carolina, and becoming acquainted with the literary society of Charleston and Savannah, as well as the Spanish-Minorcan culture of St. Augustine, Florida. In July Cullen took his mother to visit his Aunt Charity Bryant at Weybri

IN 1849, at FIFTY-FIVE, Bryant had served for twenty years as principal editor of the Evening Post. No longer president of the American Art-Union, he was, nevertheless, more intimate than ever with many of the artists who had given it success, and whom he often saw at meetings of the Sketch Club, the Century Association, and the National Academy. He had become a “fireside poet” whose verses drew parody and satire as well as imitation and adulation. In his A Fable for Critics in 1848 young James Russell Lowell had conceded Bryant to be “first bard of your nation,” but saw him standing “in supreme ice-olation.” A Lowell imitator complained, “I like friend Bryant,/But as a man;—I can’t endure a giant.” A less jocular critic commented that, on reading “Thanatopsis,” “one seems to be on the mount of contemplation, elevated above the manifold influences of a striving world, and breathing a purer air.”
The Evening Post was in good shape. With John Bigelow as its associate editor, and both circulation and the business of the comme
