"What won me a little, too, was the fact that the scene she was reciting…was secretly my favorite among all the sketches from my pen… I never said so, but it was; and I had always felt a wondering annoyance that the…public, while kindly praising beyond their worth other attempts of mine, had never noticed the higher purpose of this little shaft, aimed not at the balconies and lighted windows of society, but straight up towards the distant stars."
—Constance Fenimore Woolson, 1880.
