Book excerpt: Excerpt from Latest Literary Essays and Addresses of James Russell Lowell But I should rather be inclined to say that it was his mind that was alienated from the present. Tu tensely and even vehemently engaged in the ques tion of the day, his politics were abstract and theoretic, and a quotation from Sophocles has as much weight with him as a constitutional precedent. His intellectual sympathies were Greek. His lan guage even has caught the accent of the ancient world. When he makes our English search her cofiers round, it is not for any home-made orna ments, and his commentators are fain to unravel some of his syntax by the help of the Greek or Latin grammar.
