fMfiWRTX Dame Rumor Hits Broadway EARLY L * PORTLAND. Me—A brief and ; If hitherto unpublished poetic flight ; s of Longfellow, written when ho 1 * was 16 yeara old, has come to j T light here. The verse and the his- \ «t tory connected with it was coveal- j ■ cd by the search of Itufus Lamson, ! m an elderly potter, for a nonde- | * script pottery plaque, long since ’ ^ vanished. Conceived while tho I *» youthful Longfellow was watching 2 a potior working at his wheel, the * yer«o Is believed to have had’ the t same sourco of inspiration which, * In later yeacs, found its expref- j m slon In “Kcrainos." W As related by Mr. Lamson, one* ? of the favorite haunts of Longfol- 1 A low aa a hoy was the sinnll pot . * tery of nmjgmln Dodge, on Rat- 1 ; tie 8trcct. Longfellow, watching a j •J vessel taking shape under the flng- , t era of the old potter, one day { A scrawled four lines of verso on u ; * slip of paper: i ^ “No handicraftman’s art * P Can to our art compare; 'j J „We potters make our pots j Of "what we potters are." \ ^ Then he slipped away to Join his . companions. Benjamin Dodge, ah- j sent from his task, returned and j found tho paper. Aid because the J lines gras|>od his fancy, he wrote Uy?m on a plaque of clay and had I It baked. For years the panel hung Over hl« wheel. A new firm erect ed a new pottery, and tho panel ■ was kopt for 25 years and then ; sold. That was twenty years ago. ’• With tho passing of the plaque tho tradition faded, and only late ly was tt revived when one of tho now proprietors expressed hl» 1 , wish to eocqver the little red clay panel.
