Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Commemoration and Other Verses I knew Thomas Dwight Goodell intimately for forty-two years. When I entered the Hartford Public High School in the spring of 1878, he was my instructor in Latin and in Roman History; no teacher in the school had higher standards, demanded more of his pupils, or gave to our rudimentary minds a better conception of scholarship. In my Senior year in the school I studied Homer under his direction; and I well remember the day when he called attention to the unspeakably affecting passage where Helen meditates on the absence of her brothers from the Achaean host, not knowing that they were sleeping across the sea in their own dear native land. Years later I had the honor of becoming a colleague, on the Yale Faculty, of my former teacher; and while we did not always agree in college politics, our friendship was never overclouded, and during the last few lustra I felt sure that our affection was closer and stronger than ever. Professor Goodell was not only a classical scholar of remarkable attainments; he had a command of an admirable English prose style. I used to urge him to write for publication more frequently; but there was a certain unwillingness on his part to do this, compounded, I think, of shyness and a really extraordinary fastidiousness in taste.
