A Lowell connection

What is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days.
This snippet from a much longer poem by James Russell Lowell popped irresistably into my head on this superlative morning. I wondered if the poet Lowell had any connection with our founding father Francis Cabot Lowell and found that Francis was half-brother to James’ father, a Unitarian minister (thanks Wikipedia!).
