- Cather comments on The Maid of Plymouth, an opera based on The Courtship of Miles Standish: "there seems to be a peculiar fatality about the story of Miles Standish. He doesn't seem to work up well in prose or verse. Probably Mr. Longfellow killed him thoroughly some years ago, along with English hexameter."
