Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poems of Sophie Jewett The poetry of Sophie Jewett is too wide in its appeal to need interpretation through biography; and one would turn in vain to the poems for a story of her life. Yet those who have felt the sway of her art may well wish for a knowledge of her life in its personal relations and surroundings; and much of her own experience lies half-hidden in the poems. The "little fountain in the park" sings its "summer song" before her girlhood home; in her "coign of vantage" whence wheatfield and pasture stretch in sight she spent many August hours; White Head rises sheer from the waters of Casco Bay on which she used to sail; and she heard "the least of carols" among the "undrifted snows" of the Wellesley meadows. Miss Jewett was born June 3, 1861, in Moravia, a little town in the hilly lake country of central New York. Among the founders of this village in early pioneer days were her grandfather, Deacon Josiah Jewett, and her great-grandfather, Cotton Skinner, whose daughter Sophia became the wife of Deacon Jewett.
