 | | Harriet Monroe was apparently the only person in Chicago who could have made such an attempt. |
 | | Overawed and tormented by an older sister, Harriet was educated in a convent in Georgetown, D. C., grew dreamy, introspective and so romantic that her admirers were unable to measure up to her ideal of a lover. |
 | | Despite illness, an operation, a nervous attack, Harriet Monroe finished her ode in time, demanded and received $1,000 for it, had the satisfaction of hearing it read before an audience of 120,000, its chorus sung by 5,000 voices. |
