Excerpt from Poems of Paul Hamilton Hayne
It were superfluous to enter upon any criticism of his poems, nor is this the place for it. They are left with the reader, who, if he cannot of himself, find therein the aromatic freshness of the woods, - the swaying incense of the cathedral-like aisles of pines, - the sough of dying summer winds, - the glint of lonely pools, and the brooding notes of leaf-hidden mocking-birds, - would not be able to discern them, however carefully the critic might point them out.

Excerpt from Poems of Paul Hamilton Hayne
While in the Senate of the United States, he was not afraid to match his strength with Webster's, and he was governor of South Carolina when to be governor of the Palmetto State was an honor worth the winning.
The subject of this sketch is the only child of Lieutenant Hayne, a naval officer, who died at sea when his son was an infant; his mother, recently deceased, was a South Carolina lady, of good English and Scotch descent. lie was born in Charleston, January 1st, 1830, and educated at Charleston College, from which he was graduated. Inheriting the prestige of a noble name, high position, and a sufficient amount of wealth, the world was before the youth, and he was free to choose his path. From earliest boyhood his fondness for literature, particularly poetry, was pronounced, and there was everything around him to foster this love. The Charleston of thirty-five years ago was a very different place from the Charleston of to-day. The old Huguenot element, with its aristocratic names and associations, was strong, and the large admixture of good English blood helped to make its people just a little exclusive. Boston herself did not gather the mantle of her self-importance in a more queenly manner about her than did this city by the sea. There was a decided literary element, too, among its higher classes. Legare's wit and scholarship brightened its social circle; Calhoun's deep shadow loomed over it from his plantation at Fort Hill; Gilmore Simms's genial culture broadened its sympathies. The latter was the Macæmas to a band of brilliant youths who used to meet for literary suppers at his beautiful home; and here it was that the love for old Elizabethan lore, and the study of the classics of the English tongue, which has always characterized Mr. Hayne, found one of its best stimulants.
No sooner had he graduated than he threw himself actively into literary life. He became connected with the journalism of the city, and when the enthusiastic group of young scholars established a Literary Monthly Magazine (Russell's) Mr. Hayne was appointed its editor.
His first volume of Poems was published by the old house of Tick-nor & Co., Boston, in 1855, when he was some twenty-five years old, his second in 1857, and his third in 1800. These all met with such success as encouraged him to adopt fully a literary life as his vocation.
