生曾称赞他为“乡土的、诚挚的、有独创性的爱国诗人”。本篇是布莱恩特写给母亲的信,描述婚礼当日自己的感受。

亲爱的母亲:

我匆忙发出这封信,是想告诉你最近我这里发生的一件事情——一个令人忧愁的消息。

这个月11号的傍晚时分,我在与村子相邻的一栋房子里。有几个男女聚集在其中一间屋里,而我自己跟其他三四个人则待在另一间房子里。然后进来一个脸色苍白、瘦削,有一副严肃面孔、鹰钩鼻、深陷的眼睛的老先生。没过多久,有人来招呼我们到另外那间屋子里去,那位老先生和其他人都聚集在那里。我们走进去,坐了下来。那位鹰钩鼻的老先生开始作祷告,我们全体起立。他作完祷告之后,人们都坐了下来。接着,那位鹰钩鼻的老先生口中念念有词,说了一串神秘的话语。我当时十分紧张,没有记住他说了些什么,只记得在结束的时候,他说我和一个名叫弗朗西丝·菲切尔德的姑娘成了婚。她当时就站在我身旁,希望几个月后能有机会荣幸地把她作为您的儿媳介绍给您。这个可怜的姑娘对此很感兴趣,因为她在这个世界上无父无母……

我追求的是一个心地善良、性情直率、和蔼可亲、温柔体贴的女孩。我的妻子为人非常坦率和单纯,我不用担心自己将来有失望的时候。或许我并不了解自己,或许我并没有去寻求这些或那些品质,我可能在不知不觉中落入了他们的圈套,身不由己地娶了那个姑娘。

我们就是这样顺着命运的潮流向前走的。只有疯子才会逆流而上,只有傻子才去竭力迎合潮流。最好的办法是静静地随波逐流……

爱你的儿子,

威廉

Dear Mother;

I hasten to send you the melancholy intelligence of what has lately happened to me。

Early on the evening of the eleventh day of the present month I was at a neighboring house in this village。 Several people of both sexes were assembled in one of the apartments; and three or four others; with myself; were in another。 At last came in a little elderly gentleman; pale; thin; with a solemn countenance; hooked nose; and hollow eyes。 It was not long before we were summoned to attend in the apartment where he and the rest of the pany were gathered。 We went in and took our seats; the little elderly gentleman with the hooked nose prayed; and we all stood up。 When he had finished; most of us sat down。 The gentleman with the hooked nose then muttered certain cabalistical expressions which I was too much frightened to remember; but I recollect that at the conclusion I was given to understand that I was married to a young lady of the name of Frances Fair�child; whom I perceived standing by my side; and I hope in the co
