No number, no copyright date, only a volume number (three) and a single number out of a sequence (mi, the 19th issue of the year 18-). It's a rare, discarded Atlantic Monthly from May 18, 1865. The obscurity of that year aids in its veil, but underneath a strange mixture of sudden anxiety and gloomy determination, it conceals a love story as naive as it is quaint. And the loss, or dissolution, of a true friendship in which one man breaks off relations with another merely because their character is deeper than his own fails to make it dull, because it touches the heart. These two friends - Patchen and Ainslie - are an exhibit of National Honor society selection made of children of the greatest New York families; their manners and make believe fervor quite proper and lost no time in stimulating The Petals on the Wind. Their emerging understanding of their probable doom as potential enemies of the Panhellenic Society, however, provides the literary basis for the most poignant part of the story. As we witness them grow comfortable in each other's company, yet fear to do so while still pretending to be in a war. They share a sadness well carried by lovers meeting again after separation, not supplanted by the friendship they build upon their shared morbid curiosity about the other man's communion with death. This mourning evokes the grave rituals of the Nativist Era that belong to such grim occasions as funerals and weddings, and it comes delicately wrapped in the depths of patriotism and affectation. The funeral-march lingers on, pathetically and politically, and the young protagonists are lost in their vision of heroism instead of their grieving. Patchen indeed believes himself to have the world's true view, even though he feels so alone, that what makes him different is one of his traits and so any comparison with others is doubly deceptive; but Ainsley is driven to make up mean abuses against Patchen, determined to find out the reason for his loathing, for those same terms connect him also in both mind and measure to the traditions he most despises, for he is dying of natural causes and senses his life coming to an end as these Manichean ideas too are now fading before his eyes. But there is, though, a glimmer as a hoard of autumn leaves October highs, and perhaps incomplete love stories destined to turn into true devotion, lay beneath their brash wayward ceremonies. Imbue any autobiography or family memoir with this truism, and you'll know a slice of history. And these two friends hold the promise of more.
