Bagg was a notable figure in the 19th century, primarily recognized for his contributions to the fields of literature and medicine. He is best known for his work 'An Index to the First Thirty-Three Volumes of the Yale Literary Magazine,' which reflects his engagement with literary culture and the academic environment of Yale University. This index serves as a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of literary thought during that period, showcasing the diverse range of topics and styles that emerged in the magazine's early years. In addition to his literary pursuits, Bagg made significant contributions to medical literature with works such as 'The Anatomist's Vade Mecum: A System of Human Anatomy' and 'A System of Practical Surgery.' These texts highlight his expertise in anatomy and surgical practices, providing essential knowledge for medical students and practitioners of his time. Bagg's dual focus on literature and medicine illustrates the interconnectedness of these fields in the 19th century, as well as his dedication to advancing both literary and medical education. His works continue to be referenced for their scholarly value and historical significance in both domains.
“Well, any love makes us vulnerable. Whatever we love will give the gift of pain somewhere along the road. But who would live sealed in spiritual cellophane just to keep from ever being hurt? There are a few people like that. I'm sorry for them. I think they are as good as dead.””
“Perhaps, after all, our best thoughts come when we are alone. It is good to listen, not to voices but to the wind blowing, to the brook running cool over polished stones, to bees drowsy with the weight of pollen. If we attend to the music of the earth, we reach serenity. And then, in some unexplained way, we share it with others.””
“Christmas is a bridge. We need bridges as the river of time flows past. Today's Christmas should mean creating happy hours for tomorrow and reliving those of yesterday.””
