Philip Henry Savage
Edit ProfileEducation
After a few years in the English High School at Boston, and before going to college, Philip Henry tried traveling salesmanship, oddly mingling, in his letters home, news of the shoe business with descriptions of sunsets and red-winged blackbirds.
He entered Harvard College at twenty-one (an age when most men are leaving it), and was graduated with the class of 1893.
Career
After the publication of his first book, First Poems and Fragments (1895), Philip Henry wrote, analyzed himself: "Master of a little beauty which, because it is born and bearer of the divine essence, I will cherish at the expense of most of the concerns of life". The whole of his short life was a search for the frail but perfect beauty he was destined to express.
His last few years were passed as secretary to the librarian of the Boston Public Library. Their most important event was the publication of his Poems in 1898.
His life was long enough to carry him from the instinctive youthful imitation of conventional models to the intellectual independence of the poems "God, thou art good, but not to me" and "What hard, bright Spirit sits beyond the stars? , " to the mellow humanity of "A Wreath of Buds and Lavender".
He was stricken with appendicitis and died at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, at the age of thirty-one.

Views
Quotations:
Savage wrote a friend: "I see other men in full career, their power of expression running even with their conception, - while I labor and fail. The paltry inspiration that is in some of the First Poems does not comfort me. Where are power and beauty? Where, indeed, are simple purity and grace?"
"What is true and beautiful is absolute; and what is stupendous and gorgeous and impressive and wonderful is inferior to it" .
Personality
Savage formed that noble, pure, and exacting taste which is his most distinctive trait of him.
Quotes from others about the person
Daniel Gregory Mason praised Savage for "having a high level of delicate idealism. "
Connections
There is no information about his marital status.
