"That boy is a perfect cyclops, isn't he?" said Amy one day, as Laurie clattered by on horseback, with a flourish of his whip as he passed. "How dare you say so, when he's got both his eyes? And very handsome ones they are, too," cried Jo, who resented any slighting remarks about her friend. "I didn't say anything about his eyes, and I don't see why you need fire up when I admire his riding." "Oh, my goodness! That little goose means a centaur, and she called him a Cyclops," exclaimed Jo, with a burst of laughter. "You needn't be so rude, it's only a 'lapse of lingy', as Mr. Davis says," retorted Amy, finishing Jo with her Latin. "I just wish I had a little of the money Laurie spends on that horse," she added, as if to herself, yet hoping her sisters would hear. "Why?" asked Meg kindly, for Jo had gone off in another laugh at Amy's second blunder. "I need it so much. I'm dreadfully in debt, and it won't be my turn to have the rag money for a month."

   Extractions: POEMS BY LOUISA MAY ALCOTT: ALCOTT, LOUISA MAY . Born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, 1832; died in Boston, 1888. As the daughter of the Concord philosopher, Louisa May Alcott spent her youth in association with her father's friends, Emerson Thoreau , William Ellery Channing, Margaret Fuller , and others who made the period memorable. Fortunately, however, for the family of the philosopher, her talents ran in a more practical channel, and after trying her hand at many occupations, she found her true gift in writing stories for the young. Her work in this field still maintains its supremacy, particularly "Little Women," which has become a classic of children's literature. This biographical note is reprinted from The Little Book of American Poets: 1787-1900 . Ed. Jessie B. Rittenhouse. Cambridge: Riverside Press, 1915.

   Extractions: Browse Articles By: Date Posted Author Issues or Search Articles: Advertisement: Louisa May Alcott is one of few women who enjoyed immediate success in writing during her lifetime. Born in Germantown, Pennsylvania on November 29, 1832 to Amos Bronson Alcott and Abigail "Abba" May, Louisa moved with her family to the Massachusetts area. With the help of family friend Ralph Waldo Emerson, they relocated from Concord to Boston several times and in 1843, participated in an experimental communal village referred to as the Fruitlands. Her father, a schoolteacher and transcendentalist, finally moved the family to Boston in 1849 after the project failed. In her early years, Alcott enjoyed nature walks with Henry David Thoreau and acting out the plays she had written with her sisters. Burdened by her family's growing financial difficulties, she took on as many jobs as she could to help out, very much becoming a "little woman" herself at the age of 15. After working as a laundry washer and teacher, she published her first poem, "Sunlight," (1852) in Peterson's Magazine, followed by her first book, Flower Fables, three years later. She remained in Boston to pursue a literary career, visiting her family and comforting her mother in the wake of her sister's (Lizzie) death from Scarlet Fever. When America found itself ravaged by Civil War, Alcott moved to Washington D.C. in 1862 to serve as a nurse. Her experiences served as the inspiration for

    Extractions: She was the daughter of Amos Bronson Alcott and Abigail May, and though of New England parentage and residence, was born in Germantown, now part of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She began work at an early age as an occasional teacher, seamstress, governess, and writer — her first book was Flower Fables (1854), tales originally written for Ellen Emerson, daughter of Ralph Waldo Emerson. In 1860 she began writing for the Atlantic Monthly, and she was nurse in the Union Hospital at Georgetown, D.C., for six weeks in 1862-1863. Her letters home, revised and published in the Commonwealth and collected as Hospital Sketches (1863, republished with additions in 1869), displayed keen power of observation and record with a healthy dose of the humor of retrospection, and garnered her the first critical recognition. Despite its uncertainty of method and of touch, Moods, a novel (1864), also showed considerable promise. A lesser-known part of her work are the passionate, fiery novels and stories she wrote, usually under the pseudonym A. M. Barnard. These works, such as A Long Fatal Love Chase and Pauline's Passion and Punishment, are of the type referred to in Little Women as "dangerous for little minds" and were called "potboilers" or "blood-and-thunder tales" by Victorians. Their protagonists are willful and relentless in their pursuit of their own aims, which often include revenge on those who have humiliated or thwarted them. These well-written works with an uncommon point of view achieved immediate commercial success and are highly readable today.

    Extractions: Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888) American author Money is a needful and precious thing, and when well used, a noble thing, but I never want you to think it is the first or only prize to strive for. I'd rather see you poor men's wives, if you were happy, beloved, contented, than queens on thrones, without self-respect and peace. LOUISA MAY ALCOTT, Little Women Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents. LOUISA MAY ALCOTT, Little Women When women are the advisers, the lords of creation don't take the advice till they have persuaded themselves that it is just what they intended to do. Then they act upon it, and, if it succeeds, they give the weaker vessel half the credit of it. If it fails, they generously give her the whole. LOUISA MAY ALCOTT, Little Women Have regular hours for work and play; make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life become a beautiful success, in spite of poverty. LOUISA MAY ALCOTT
