Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Poems and Prose Writings of Sumner Lincoln Fairfield, Vol. 1 of 2 But a new affliction was impending. Marietta, the beautiful sister just mentioned, was seized on the first of September, 1810, by a fatal malady, which, within a few days, closed her unoffending career, and wafted her spotless spirit far beyond the taint and trouble of the earth. There were murmurs heard as her sweet body descended into Earth, for the child was a radiant being of loveliness and love; but amidst all the desolation of bereavement, those most nearly allied could not, when the first agony had subsided, question the wisdom of the unerring father or the universe. Had her years been extended to woman hood, she might have suffered like her brother; with him she would have borne all that the fiends of earth could inflict, and the soft pulse of joy might have become the agonizing throb of sympathetic anguish.
