It is certain that in general the excellence of the workmanship
depends upon the nature of the tools, which are employed in executing it
but I know not whether the quill of a crow is better than of that of the
goose, or whether it is plucked from a Nobler Animal. I once was guilty
of a Peter-pindarical performance in which those ‸creatures were converted into
orators and were suffered to plead, each his own cause, in presence of
a critical judicature. And what decision do you think? As I have not
now the piece, I cannot certainly inform you, but there is reason to Imagine

Here am I seated at my desk. With pen and all the writing implements at
hand; and shall I not employ them? Yes in good sooth I will, and they
shall, for the present, be devoted to the pious use of shewing my friend
that his absence does not annihilate him; his local absence for he is
always intellectually present, and as he stands almost single in the
Writers catalogue of Friends, my soul principally converses with his
kindred spirit.—Lend me your wings I pray you, tend me your wingshttp://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1792-L-005.xmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMTLetter To William Wood Wilkins. Brown, Charles Brockden

"What, my friend, art thou certainly awake? Or is it that I
am dreaming? No, I believe you incapable of adulation: and
yet there are some parts of your acceptable epistle, which are ex-
tremely suspicious. But your motives do not only excuse, but
justify you; when a friend is sinking into a quicksand or strug-
gling with a suffocating stream, there is nothing can betide him
which is so dangerous as despair; and one, who, though near at
hand, is unable to afford him any personal assistance, cannot be
more serviceable to him, than by cherishing his hopes, and keep-
ing him from yielding to despair; and if in the ardour of our
exhortations, and the precipitancy of our zeal, we chance to de-
viate from rigid truth, and facilitate his escape, by invigorating
his efforts with flattering representations of his power, and delu-

I have been conversing with Rousseau. I have, since ten OClock,
been flying with a rapturous attention through his illumined and impassioned
pages. Notwithstanding the obscurities and difficulties of a foreign tongue
of which my knowledge is extreemly imperfect I can easily percieve
the transcendant excellence of this performance. What a model of pathetic
eloquence! Thus it must always be when the sentiments are the genuine
offspring of the heart: when we speak with the voice of truth and
nature. Love has been said to be the most prevalent and universal of
human passion; And yet what numbers have never felt its influence? How
much idle declamation has it occasioned? I have always been of opinion
that it is impossible for any one to judge of the truth and accuracy of of
representation of the progress and effects of love, who has not pe...http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1792-L-007.xmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMTLetter To Joseph Bringhurst, Jr.. Brown, Charles Brockden

O My friend! Can I stay the torrent of my emotions? Can I stiffle
the burst of tenderness or check the tears of rapture, with which my
heart was agitated and my eyes suffused, on the perusal of thy letter?
Shall I suffer them to fall unheeded? Shall not my pen, fly with
tenfold rapidity at this transporting moment? Thou eloquent and
amiable Preacher! This is the argument which is adapted to convince
me. This the mode of demonstration which leaves me not at liberty to

Tarry a little, my good friend. I want only to furnish myself
at this Booksellers shop, with a Rhyming dictionary, and to rob younder
Crow of a quill or two, and then I will attend you on your journey to the
paradise of poets. I will contribute my endeavours to unsphere the
soul of VIDA, and compell the presence of the jest-provoking,
wit-dissecting, Eight-syllable'd Thalia. Alas! my friend, these are
only my wishes. Neither my leisure nor abilities will suffer me to prosecute
my Undertaking. To write indeed like Peter Pindar would not, I believe
be very difficult, but were I to undertake the prise enterprise I should
scorn to talk in such barbarous diallect, but should endeavour to
emulate the polished elegance and classical purity of Pope and

Why is my inclination not attended with ability? Why do I find myself
disposed to write without experiencing that rigor of conviction and
facility of utterance of which I have at other times been sensible?
Unseasonable langors take possession of me. Joyless slumbers weigh
down my eye-lids. Not even the idea of my beloved friend, for whom,
notwithstanding an impatient and capricious disposition, I entertain
the most ardent and sincere affection, of which my heart is at this
waning era of my existence susceptible, can banish this oppressive
listlessness and rouse me into watchfulness or activity. What expe-

I very much regret that my last last letter was so perfect and inexplicable
an Ænigma. I do not, my dearest friend, recollect that any thing was
contained in it which could render it absolutely unintelligible, or warrant
my ingenious Correspondent in answering it by a riddle which to me
is solutionless and incomprehensible, unless it were the abruptness of the
conclusion; but this I hope will be forgiven when you are told, that
just as I had finished the concluding sentence, a messenger informed me
that all the letters which were go to America by the Harmony, must be
sent immediately to Deptford, & that a single moments delay would
prevent thier passing the Atlantic in that Ship. There was, therefore, my

I am extreemly pleased with your vision, and you cannot easily concieve
how highly I am gratified on finding that the poor neglected and disponding
Julius is sometimes present in the airy parties of slumbering fancy. That in
sleep, as well as in wakefulness I am not forgotten. Surely it is impossible to
solicit heaven to confer greater felicity upon you, than that which arises from
a continual succession of dreams like those. I wish I wish I were so fortunate
a visionary, and that, during sleep, my soul could mingle at will, with
the beings that people the world of Allegory, but the priviledge of dreaming to
any agreable or useful purpose is denied me, and I am forced to be contented
with insipid realities or at least with those shadowy and fleeting images
which the wand of wakeful Imagination can call into existance.http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1792-L-018.xmlThu, 01 Jan 1970 12:00:00 GMTLetter To Joseph Bringhurst, Jr.. Brown, Charles Brockden
