Memoirs of Margaret Fuller Ossoli
p3quoted · read
“If all the gentlest-hearted friends I knew Concentred in one heart their gentleness, That still grew gentler till its pulse was less For life than pity, — I should yet be slow To bring my own heart nakedly below The palm of such a friend, that he should press My false, ideal joy and fickle woe Out to full light and knowledge." Elizabeth Barrett.”
Emerson, Ralph Waldo, William Henry Channing, and James Freeman Clarke, eds. Memoirs of Margaret Fuller Ossoli. 2 vols. Boston: Phillips, Sampson and Company, 1852.
Inferred The archival editors inferred this title based on Fuller's contemplative meditation on a passage concerning the tension between privacy and the desire for connection.
