'''Alice Cary''' (April 26, 1820{{snd}}February 12, 1871) was an American [[poet]], and the older sister of fellow poet [[Phoebe Cary]] (1824–1871).

==BiographyBiografia==

Alice Cary was born on April 26, 1820, in [[Mount Healthy, (Ohio)]], off the Miami River near [[Cincinnati, Ohio|Cincinnati]].<ref>Ehrlich, Eugene and Gorton Carruth. ''The Oxford Illustrated Literary Guide to the United States''. New York: Oxford University Press, 1982: 297. {{ISBN|0-19-503186-5}}</ref> Her parents lived on a farm bought by Robert Cary in 1813 in what is now [[North College Hill, Ohio]]. He called the {{convert|27|acre|m2}} [[Clovernook]] Farm. The farm was {{convert|10|mi|km}} north of Cincinnati, a good distance from schools, and the father could not afford to give their large family of nine children a very good education. But Alice and her sister [[Phoebe Cary|Phoebe]] were fond of reading and studied all they could.

While the sisters were raised in a [[Universalist]] household and held political and religious views that were liberal and reformist, they often attended Methodist, Presbyterian, and Congregationalist services and were friendly with ministers of all these denominations and others. According to Phoebe,

{{quotecitaione|text=Though singularly liberal and unsectarian in her views, [Alice] always preserved a strong attachment to the church of her parents, and, in the main, accepted its doctrines. Caring little for creeds or minor points, she most firmly believed in human brotherhood as taught by Jesus; and in a God whose loving kindness is so deep and so unchangeable that there can never come a time even the vilest sinner, in all the ages of eternity, when if he arises and go to Him, his Father will not see him afar off, and have compassion upon him.<ref>{{Cite web |author=June Edwards |url=http://uudb.org/articles/carysisters.html |title=The Cary Sisters |publisher=Unitarian & Universalist Dictionary of Biography |website=uudb.org |accessdate=May 25, 2016 |date=March 20, 2003 |archive-date=June 11, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160611105241/http://uudb.org/articles/carysisters.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>}}

When Alice was 17 and Phoebe 13, they began to write verses, which were printed in newspapers. Their mother had died in 1835, and two years afterward their father married again. Their stepmother was wholly unsympathetic regarding the literary aspirations of Alice and Phoebe. For their part, while the sisters were ready and while willing to aid to the full extent of their strength in household labor, they persisted in a determination to study and write when the day's work was done. Sometimes they were refused the use of candles to the extent of their wishes, and the device of a saucer of lard with a bit of rag for a wick was their only light after the rest of the family had retired.<ref name="appletons">{{Cite Appletons'|wstitle=Cary, Alice|year=1900}}</ref>
