Excerpt from My Mother's Journal: Edited, With Introductory Notes of Her Life, by Her Son
Another formative influence in her life of great value was her school-days under the celebrated Mary Lyon, the foremost woman whom America has produced, in the old Acad emy at Ipswich, Mass, before she founded Mt. Holyoke Seminary. Among my chief posses sions I prize a dog's-eared diary bound in an old bit of newspaper and written in my mother's cramped schoolgirl hand (she afterwards wrote a beautiful, legible, flowing style), recording the words of Mary Lyon at the chapel exer cises, or her bright table-talk with her scholars.
Even in these early days Lydia Clark was noted not only for her gentleness and strength, but for a certain poetic gift which led her par tial brothers and sisters to call her Mrs. Sigourney the Second. Mrs. Sigourney was then the fashion, and was considered 'a much greater poet than future times have been will ing to admit, so that the compliment was a more thoroughgoing one than it seems after the lapse of sixty years.
