On the essay form, I don't yet see a mention of the excellent
Essays of E. B. White[1]. Yes, the same one from 'Strunk and White' of The Elements of Style.
Two essays that I still vividly remember from the book (both were written around 1940s):
(1) Coon Tree
(2) Death of a Pig
These are indeed essays with an "an odor of durability", as White puts it while he ruminates in the preface about what he was considering to publish.
Get the entire book[1], his writing reeks with humanity.
