1856 Excerpt: ...transparent loveliness. October 10th.--There is an
article in the "American," addressed to the American people, on the
subject of erecting a monument to Washington. As to the design of
such a monument, I would say, let it not be a statue; for however
great its size, its many parts and projections would render it less
durable than something more simple: time would destroy the original
beauty of the sculpture of a statue. I would not have a column; for
that is only an architectural member, and not a complete whole.
Although it were crowned with a statue, it would not appear to me
either consistent or in good taste. A pyramid would answer in
durability of structure; but that is unmeaning. To my mind a
colossal altar would be the most appropriate, and the most capable
of uniting beauty of form with durability. Let it be hundreds of
feet in height; let a fire burn upon it perpetually; let it never
expire while the nation recognized Washington as the Father of his
country. Mor, g, noon, evening and midnight, let its flame rise in
the oavens a symbol of his glory, and a Pharos to light the ch iren
of freedom to deeds of virtue and greatness, for ages to come.
October 30th.--The weather for a month has been truly delightful;
but this day above all. A pure crystal-like atmosphere has floated
round the landscape; and the brown of the leafless woods has been
tinged with the purest ultramarine. The sky is clear and cloudless,
the air is still, but fresh. 0 Nature, to the loving eye thou art
seldom without smiles. November 21st.--In consequence of having a
number of 208 LOVERS OP NATURE FEW. sketches to paint, my
afternoons are so fully occupied that I have little opportunity of
writing. Gloomy days have come at last, and brought with them to my
mind a shade o...
