		Holmes was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1809 to Sarah Wendell Holmes and the Reverend Abiel Holmes.

		Oliver Wendell Holmes was born in 1809 to Abiel Holmes and Sarah Wendell.
		Holmes interest in scientific, political, and historical matters is revealed in many of his poetic works, such as his highly popular poem "Old Ironsides." While only twenty-one years old, Holmes produced this response to the proposed destruction of the USS Constitution battleship that served in the War of 1812.
		The details of the poem's language helped me determine that Holmes had pity on the aunt's life and the way she was forced to live it.

		An old man was then living, almost in his hundredth year, who remembered the first settlers, and he wept when he heard that this rock, which should have been preserved with religious veneration, as the spot on which their fathers first set foot, had been thus carelessly put out of sight.
		Holmes makes some remarks which are honourable to his feelings on the great war with Metacom, Sachem of Pokanoket, famous by his title of K. Philip, which was the decisive contest between the red and white races in this part of America.
		Holmes is censurable for endeavouring to palliate the persecution of the Quakers in New England.

		Oliver Wendell Holmes, who issued Old Ironsides from the house whose site the stone marks, no doubt would have rescued his birthplace from such funereal treatment with another epic, but, as it was, all he got around to was a written gabfest at his breakfast table.
		At this point, the Holmes family took up residence in the person of the Reverend Abiel Holmes, whose father in law, Judge Wendell of the probate court, bought it for him and his recent bride.
		At some now well-hidden date before the turn of the century, Holmes house was torn down, not to make way for Littauer, which didn't inflate the landscape until much later, but presumably because, like its garret's contents, it was slowly going to pieces.

	Vernon L. Parrington, Main Currents in American Thought, Vol. 2,
		For upwards of half a century, throughout the prime and on past the Indian Summer of the New England renaissance, Holmes was Boston's own wit, inexhaustible in clever sayings, bubbling over with satire and sentiment, the autocrat of her social gatherings, the acknowledged head of her mutual admiration society.
		And yet, though a full-blown Victorian in manners and tastes, Holmes was something of a child of the eighteenth century at heart.
		In his own special way, then, as a Brahmin of the Brahmins, Holmes was a rebel, a puller-down of worm-eaten structures, a freethinker rejoicing when free thought tossed a cargo of obsolete dogma into Boston Bay, or drew out a linchpin of some respectable social coach.
