Notes
General:
"American writer of poetry and stories, Celia Thaxter was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in 1835 and grew up in the Isles of Shoals, first on White Island, where her father, Thomas Laighton, was lighthouse keeper, and then on Smuttynose and Appledore Islands. When she was sixteen, she married Levi Thaxter and moved to the mainland. Her life with Levi was not harmonious and she missed her islands, and so after 10 years away, she moved back to Appledore Island. Her first published poem, "Landlocked", was written during this time on the mainland.
Celia became the hostess of her father's hotel, the Appledore House, and welcomed many New England literary and artistic notables to the island and to her parlor, including writers Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, John Whittier, Sarah Orne Jewett, and the artist Childe Hassam, who painted several pictures of her. She was present at the time of the infamous murders on Smuttynose Island, about which she wrote. She died in 1894.
Her poems first appeared in The Atlantic Monthly and she became one of America's favorite authors in the late 19th century. Among her best-known poems are The Burgomaster Gull, Landlocked, Milking, The Great White Owl, The Kingfisher, and especially The Sandpiper." - Wikipedia
A biography from the period reads:
"Many people will be interested to know that they are in a great measure indebted to the late James Russell Lowell for the pleasure they have derived from reading the exquisite poems of Celia Thaxter, for it was he who discovered her genius. Mrs. Thaxter never sought admittance to the field of literature, but Mr. Lowell, while editor of the "Atlantic Monthly,"
happened to see some verses which she had written for her own amusement, and, without saying anything to her about it, christened them "Landlocked," and published them in the "Atlantic." Mrs. Thaxter was born in Portsmouth, N. H., June 29, 1835. When she was four years old her father, Thomas B. Laighton, took his family to the Isles of Shoals to live. The
childhood of herself and two brothers was passed at White Island, where her father kept the lighthouse, which is described by her in her book, "Among the Isles of Shoals." During her later life she has continued to spend all her summers among those islands. In 1851 she was married to Levi Lincoln Thaxter, of Watertown, Mass., who died in 1884. After the publication of her first verses in the "Atlantic Monthly," she had many calls for her work, and at last, persuaded by the urgent wishes of her friends, John G. Whittier, James T. Fields and others, she issued her first volume of poems in 1871, and later the prose work "Among the Isles of Shoals." Her other books are: "Driftweed," "Poems for Children," and "Cruise of the Mystery, and Other Poems." Among the finest of her single poems may be mentioned "Courage," "Kittery Church-yard," "The Spaniards' Graves," "The Watch of Boon Island," "The Sandpiper," "A Tryst," and "The Song Sparrow." She is a most fastidious writer."

On the tiny Isles of Shoals Oscar Laighton was a superstar. He arrived at White Island in 1839, just three months old, when his father Thomas Laighton, a sometime successful businessman and politician, became lighthouse keeper. Oscar died in 1939, just three months shy of his 100th birthday. He spent most of his century on the barren islands. According to his own account in "90 Years on the Isles of Shoals", Oscar was 16 years old before he first stepped foot on the New Hampshire mainland 10 miles away.
Although he was known to sketch and write poems, Oscar Laighton's local fame came largely from longevity and proximity. His father Thomas purchased four of the nine Isles of Shoals, intending first to rebuild the Gosport fishing industry, then to become a sheep herder and a store owner. In the end, Thomas and his sons Oscar and Cedric, established a hotel and tourist industry that survives today.
His sister Celia Laighton Thaxter gained notoriety in the second half of the 19th century as one of New England's few prominent female authors. After the death of their parents, Oscar, Celia and Cedric -- who called his brother Oscar "Bocky" from childhood --- owned both the large hotel on Appledore and the one that survives today on Star Island, hosting as many as 600 visitors at a time.
Sister Celia died at age 59 in 1892. The Appledore Hotel burned in 1914, but Oscar lived on and on. Star Island was purchased from the Laightons in 1905 by a religious-based group and became the summer conference center that it remains today. For thirty years thereafter, Oscar was a fixture of the island. He is even depicted in postcards of the ear -- writing his memoirs on the Oceanic porch, posing with female conferees, standing in his fishing boat in a characteristic dark suit with flowing white beard.
Though handsome in youth and eternally romantic, Oscar never married. His privately published book of verse "Songs and Sonnets" contains simple poems of the sea and of love, each similar to the next in tone and content. As an artist he sketched two things -- fish and sailboats -- again and again. Uncle Oscar's ultimate creation was Uncle Oscar, an uncomplicated island character, a touchstone to the Golden Era of the Appledore House, when famous Boston-area artist made Celia's salon their summer retreat. And through it all was Uncle Oscar, enjoying the attention, loving the women in summer, and savoring a century of island sunsets.
SONG
By Oscar Laighton
A storm is gathering in the air,
The gulls fly high in circles wide,
Deep murmurs usher in the tide
Foaming o'er rocks all brown and bare.
These precious Isles are anchored fast,
Storm-swept by many a northeast gale
That rends the bolt rope from the sail,
And breaks in twain the groaning mast!
O love, my heart is like the sea,
Surging with every gale that blows,
Longing for winds that bring the rose,
The happy summer-time and thee.
BECALMED
By Oscar Laighton
Like a dream the moon shone down
On the craft off Provincetown.
With them on the shining bay.
My old fishing schooner lay,
Rolling gently with the tide,
Her rough rigging glorified,
Outlined on the moonlit stream
Like a ship seen in a dream.
Slow the movement of her rails,
Filled aloft her idle sails.
Though so calm that pleasant night,
From my boat to Highland Light,
Awful under winter stars,
Crashed the waves on Peaked Hill Bars!
