From Love Letters of Nathaniel Hawthorne, Vol 1 | ONLY THE CEREMONY

Now, sympathizing with the paper, my angel turns over another page. But, now and then as you read, you understood the pervading thought that impelled the book—and that you praised. Was it not so?

The Scarlet Letter - Themes - Nathaniel Hawthorne

You were archangel enough to despise the imperfect body, and embrace the soul. Once you hugged the ugly Socrates because you saw the flame in the mouth, and heard the rushing of the demon,—the familiar,—and recognized the sound; for you have heard it in your own solitudes. My dear Hawthorne, the atmospheric skepticisms steal into me now, and make me doubtful of my sanity in writing you thus. But, believe me, I am not mad, most noble Festus!

But truth is ever incoherent, and when the big hearts strike together, the concussion is a little stunning. That would be robbing me of my miserly delight. I am heartily sorry I ever wrote anything about you—it was paltry. Lord, when shall we be done growing? As long as we have anything more to do, we have done nothing. So,now, let us add Moby Dick to our blessing, and step from that.

Dearest Dove: The Love Letters of Nathaniel and Sophia Hawthorne

Leviathan is not the biggest fish;—I have heard if Krakens. This is a long letter, but you are not at all bound to answer it. Possibly, if you do answer it, and direct it to Herman Melville, you will missend it—for the very fingers that now guide this pen are not precisely the same that just took it up and put it on this paper. Lord, when shall we be done changing? But with you for a passenger, I am content and can be happy. I shall leave the world, I feel, with more satisfaction for having come to know you.

Knowing you persuades me more than the Bible of our immortality. What a pity, that, for your plain, bluff letter, you should get such gibberish! It will be good to have a longer interval between my labor of the body and that of the mind. I shall work to the better purpose, after the beginning of November. Meantime, I shall see these people and their enterprise under a new point of view, and perhaps be able to determine whether thou and I have any call to cast in our lot among them.

Sweetest, our letters have not yet been brought from the Post Office; so that I have known nothing of thee since our parting. Surely we were very happy — and never had I so much peace and joy as in brooding over thine image, as thou wast revealed to me in our last interview. I love thee with all the heart I have — and more. Now farewell, most dear. Ripley is to be the bearer of this letter; and I reserve the last page for tomorrow morning.

Perhaps I shall have a blessed word from thee, ere then. Nevertheless, I do not conclude thee to be sick, but will believe that thou hast been busy in creating Laura Bridgman. What a faithful and attentive husband thou hast! For once he has anticipated thee in writing. Belovedest, I do wish the weather would put off this sulky mood. Had it not been for the warmth and brightness of Monday, when I arrived here, I should have supposed that all sunshine had left Brook Farm forever.

I suspect he wants thee. It is his purpose, I believe, either to walk or ride to Boston, about the end of next week, and give thee a kiss — after which he will return quietly and contentedly to the farm. Oh, what joy, when he will again see thee every day! We had some tableaux last night. They were very stupid, as, indeed, was the case with all I have ever seen but do not thou tell Mrs.

Ripley so. She is a good woman, and I like her better than I did — her husband keeps his old place in my judgment.

Description

Farewell, thou gentlest Dove — thou perfectest woman —. Ownest Dove, it was but just now that I thought of sending thee a few lines by Mr. Ripley; for this penning of epistles is but a wretched resource. What shall I do? To talk to thee in this way does not bring thee nearer; it only compels me to separate myself from thee, and put thee at a distance.

Of all humbugs, pretending to alleviate mortal woes, writing is the greatest. Yet, thy two letters were a great comfort to me — so great, that they could not possibly have been dispensed with. Dearest, I did not write thee what Mr. Ripley said to me, because they have said nothing which I did not know before. The ground, upon which I must judge of the expediency of our abiding here, is not what they may say, but what actually is, or is likely to be; and of this I doubt whether either of them is capable of forming a correct opinion.

Would that thou couldst he here — or could have been here all summer — in order to help me think what is to be done. But one thing is certain — I cannot and will not spend the winter here. It is impossible. Dearest, do not thou wear thyself out with working upon that bust. If it cause thee so much as a single head-ache, I shall wish that Laura Bridgman were at Jericho. Even if thou shouldst not feel thyself wearied at the time, I fear that the whole burthen of toil will fall upon thee when all is accomplished. It is no matter if Laura should go home without being sculptured — no matter if she goes to her grave without it.

I dread to have thee feel an outward necessity for such a task; for this intrusion of an outward necessity into labors of the imagination and intellect is, to me, very painful. Oh, what weather! It seems to me as if every place were sunny, save Brook Farm. Nevertheless, I had rather a pleasant walk to a distant meadow, a day or two ago; and we found white and purple grapes, in great abundance, ripe, and gushing with rich juice when the hand pressed their clusters.

Didst thou know what treasures of wild grapes there are in this land. If we dwell here, we will make our own wine — of which, I know, my Dove will want a great quantity. Good bye, sweetest. If thou canst contrive to send me a glimpse of sunshine, I will be the gratefullest husband on earth.

I love thee inextinguishably. Thou hast no place to put all the love which I feel for thee. Thy two letters of business came both together, Saturday evening!

Love Letters of Nathaniel Hawthorne

What an acute and energetic personage is my little Dove! I say it not in jest though with a smile but in good earnest, and with a comfortable purpose to commit all my business transactions to thee, when we dwell together. And why dost thou seem to apprehend that thou mayst possibly offend me. Thou canst do so never, but only make me love thee more and more.

Now as to this affair with Munroe. I fully confide in thy opinion that he intends to make an unequal bargain with thy poor simple and innocent husband — never having doubted this, myself. But how is he to accomplish it? I am not, nor shall be, in the least degree in his power; whereas, he is, to a certain extent, in mine.

He might announce his projected library, with me for the editor, in all the newspapers in the universe; but still I could not be bound to become the editor, unless by my own act; nor should I have the slightest scruple in refusing to be so, at the last moment, if he persisted in treating me with injustice. Then, as for his printing Grandfather's Chair, I have the copy-right in my own hands, and could and would prevent the sale, or make him account to me for the profits, in case of need. Meantime, he is making arrangements for publishing this library, contracting with other booksellers, and with printers and engravers, and, with every step, making it more difficult for himself to draw back.

I, on the other hand, do nothing which I should not do, if the affair with Munroe were at an end; for if I write a book, it will be just as available for some other publisher as for him. My dearest, instead of getting me within his power by this delay, he has trusted to my ignorance and simplicity, and has put himself in my power. Show the contrary, if thou canst. He is not insensible of this. At our last interview, he himself introduced the subject of our bargain, and appeared desirous to close it.
