Robert Loveman, of Dalton, wrote
Clara Barrus, after the close of the
simple, happy, useful life of John Bur
roughs. Miss Barrus for years was
secretary to the great literary natural

work.

Mr. Burroughs was always absorbed
in the study of the universe, and in a
cheery note to the Dalton poet three
or four years before finishing his “Ac
cepting the Universe,” the last book
published before his death, he said:
“I’m sitting amid the nestle of green
leaves and singing birds, and thinking
of all the things in the universe for
which I am thankful, and you are
among them.” “If I write up ‘Winter
ing in Georgia’ I shall put you in
among the song-birds.” In the out-of-
doors world he lived, and the habits
of animals,, birds and the wonderful
miracles of nature were life itself to
him.
'Nearly all of Loveman's poems re
ceived some worthy comment from his
friend, Burroughs, but it was his
“Gates of Silence” that seemed to
sink deepest into’ his tender heart and
furnish thought for his active mind.
Of the little volume he wrote: “No
book of poems has come to me for many
years that has moved me as has your

six times, and each time with new

than any other southerner, and in all
probability Loveman is the only Geor
gian with whom Burroughs correspond
ed regularly. From his personal let
ters we can get unusual little glimpses
into the life of the “good, gray natural
ist.” Burroughs was indeed an inter-
pretator of nature, a man of many in
terests and strong devotion. The mem
ory of the quiet life he lived among
the" Catskills, from babyhood to eighty-
four, will ever be dear to us, apd some
of us will envy the temperament that
brought such contentment; the knowl
edge that kept him atune with nature;
the love that made the birds and flow

before his body was taken from ‘The
Nest” to Roxbury, near Woodichuck
Lodge, for burial.. There was none of
the pagan grief that marks so many
funerals, even in Christian lands, for
the spirit of the departed John Bur
roughs seemed to permeate the very
atmosphere; through the open win
dows came the sunbeams, bluebirds
sang in the apple trees just outside,
and the voice of the phoebe—one of
the birds Burroughs loved best—joined
in the music at the services. After a
scripture .reading and a prayer, lines
from Whitman, Emerson, Words
worth and Loveman were read. -The
Loveman poems should be of more than
passing interest because of his being a
Georgian, so wc are reproducing two or
