Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New England Poets It has sometimes been proposed, as a grace ful tribute to our most popular authors, that their statues Should be set up in public parks, surrounded by the ideal beings who are the creatures of their genius. In Longfellow's case this would surely include Hiawatha and his Minnehaha, Evangeline and Gabriel, perhaps also that kingly pair, Robert of Sicily and Olaf the Dane; certainly we could not spare dear Elsie, Who offers her young life so gladly for her prince, in the Legenda Aurea. Yet these favorites are almost wholly folk who never could have breathed our air, or understood a word of our speech.
