Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teachers of Emerson The aim of this work is to show the essentially Platonic quality of Emerson's thought. It is often held that his transcendentalism has its source in the philosophy of Germany, and that his mysticism is an inheritance from the sacred books of the East. But a careful study has convinced the author that Greek thought has been the most important factor in Emerson's intellectual development. Beneath the surface of his days and years there ran a spirit of philosophic inquiry which was fed by repeated readings in the old philosophers of Greece. From these sons of light he drank in large draughts of intellectual day. The author has attempted to show this by a comparative study of Emerson and the Platonists. In his studies the author has been helped by the labors of Dr. E. W. Emerson, whose edition of the Complete Works of Emerson has afforded many valuable suggestions regarding Emerson's acquaintance with the old philosophers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Emerson: Poet and Thinker Embodying the modern spirit are either the direct or the indirect result of his attitude toward things of the mind, that it seems worth while to emphasise his individual message once more, even at the risk of repeating much that has been said with more authority. The readers of the present genera tion hardly can turn many of his pages without sur prise that he so indubitably belongs to them that he is so freshly inspiring after half a century of rapidly changing manners and customs. His firm morality and the gracious art with which he has made morality beautiful are as valuable to-day as when his presence in the world gave a personal in terest to his writings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Masters of Literature, Emerson Criticism is re-born with every generation, and in biography not less than in the domain of pure ideas will find new points of view on old topics. So it is that great men, like great stars, appear and re-appear, not, indeed, in regular procession, but as now one, now another represents a motif to which the mind of the age most deeply responds; and though the greatest are like what we call the fixed stars, less variable, new eyes with new instruments will find perpetually in them fresh meaning. The best available estimate of Ralph Waldo Emerson - Lord Morley's - is now twenty-seven years old, and it already fails in some degree to meet the needs of the youth of our own day, or, as they would say, to do full justice to its subject. "When time has wrought changes of fashion, mental and social, the critic serves a useful turn in giving a poet or a teacher his true place, and in recovering ideas and points of view that are worth preserving. Interpretation of this kind," thought the Morley of so long a quarter-century ago, "Emerson cannot require." It is not, surely, any disrespect to this distinguished survivor of Victorian criticism to feel that the deep changes of mental as well as social fashion which have, in fact, been wrought in this period must modify more than one of his conclusions. The Victorian era is at an end; its giants, who exercised their wits by placing each other, lie dead together.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Emerson: His Life and Writings That is always best which gives me to myself. The sublime is excited in me by the great Stoical doctrine, Obey thyself.' That which shows God in me fortifies me. That which shows God out of me makes me a wart and a wen. There is no longer a necessary reason for my being. Already the long shadows of untimely oblivion creep over me, and I shall decease for ever. By his holy thoughts Jesus serves us, and thus only. To aim to convert aman by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion a true Christ is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments. It is true that a great and rich soul like his, falling among the simple, does so preponderate, ' that, as his did, it moves the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Influence of Emerson One truth of vital importance must, therefore, be learned, nothing abides except Spirit. Matter and its accidents under go unintermitted change. Life is fluid, not solid; progressive, not stationary. The soul is. When once this truth has been grasped we wonder no longer why laws, religions, and social customs cannot be permanent. They are dams made to fit one time; the river of Humanity flows through all thes. See, for example, how significant this is when applied to ethics. The ethical codes, one after another, grow too small, and must be cast ofi, or repaired and enlarged. As men's faith in a personal God diminishes, their need of a personal symbol of him diminishes; Christ the Man has more significance than Christ the God. Likewise, many enlightened persons no longer believe in everlasting damnation, a scheme of compensation evidently contrary to all the testimony of life, because it assumes that the universal flux will cease and that the guilty soul will remain in a fixed shape in hell, in spite of the fact that all souls are moving. Moreover, it attaches an absolute value to a human, relative act. Which of us would dare to assert that a single act or a single thought is the summary and completion of his career, or that it is even conceivable that any momentary experience should become solid, unchanged forevermore? Look where we will, development, or unfolding, is going on; no end is reached, or thinkable. The human imagination has drawn a finite, temporal hell to do what it intends shall be an infinite and eternal work. Let us beware of using our foot-rule and hour-glass to measure immeasurable Space and Time. All human theories of retribution must be false if they are false to this law of life namely, Growth, or Being, or Becoming.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Emerson Like bees being ever on the wing. For the poet was a thing light winged ahakfacred, unable to com pofe until he became infpired, and the imagination was no longer under his control. For as long as he was in complete pofibfiion of it, he was unable to compofe verfes or to fpeak oracu larly. And hence all noble numbers were credited by them, not to the poet whom they knew, but to the Power working in and through him, and mak ing him the mof't delighted of auditors whenever he chanted his verfes; be caufe he did not conceive them to be his. He was the Voice the favored of the Nine. Hence the value theyfet upon difcipline as the means of poetic divination. The poet, they conceived, muf'c be molt Virtuous. It was effential to his accomplifhment that he be chafie, that he be gentle, that he be noble in his generation, that his endowment be older than himfelf, that he defcend from a race of pure fouls; bring centuries'of culture in his defcent among men, ideas' of ages in his brain, /enabling him to conceive by infiinét, fpeak his expe riences unconfcioufly as a child opens his lips, in his molt rapturous accents.

I had walked up from Cambridge to Concord over the Turnpike, on my way to visit Henry Shaw, a former schoolmate, in Sudbury. Reaching Emer son's house, at the corner where the Cambridge Turnpike debouches into the Lexington road (now Massachusetts Avenue), about eleven in the morning, I rang the bell and was shown at once into the study, where Emerson sat in his accustomed chair, facing the Fates of Michel Angelo over the mantel. He was either reading or writing, as his morning habit was. I had no letter of introduction but perhaps used the name of some mutual friend, Alcott or Parker; was received graciously, and questioned about the young men in College, where I had just ended my Sophomore year, with some small tokens of distinction among classmates, -a Society Poem, or something of the kind. I observed that, after giving me one of those gently piercing glances which took in so much of the character of his.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Emerson: A Lecture The chronological fact that Emerson was born in Boston, Mass., on the 25th of May, 1803, a hundred years ago, does not make my task to-night any the easier. Few men of the modern world have been written about more than he, or by a greater variety of persons. Austere critics, and wild ones; sober-minded folk, mindful of all the traditions, and the veriest outlaws of thought, the Ishmaels of literature, have alike made Emerson the subject of their remarks.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Select Essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson: Edited, With Introduction and Notes Moreover, for a preacher of self-reliance and detach ment from the past, Emerson is amazingly fond of peppering his pages with quotations, allusions, and references to ancient authorities. This opens the door to a terrible number of explanatory notes, - more, I think, than could properly be made on any other author included in the list of college entrance requirements in English. I have purposely failed to use all these opportunities for making notes. But if any teacher finds that I have still made too many, it will be easy to skip the superfluous ones, and direct the scholar's attention to the substance and main plan of the Essays.

My mother was a sailor's daughter, and, please you, one of my aunts was a baker's wife, the other a tanner's and I don't know much more about my family, except that there used to be a green grocer of the name in a small shop near the Crystal Palace. Something of my early and vulgar life, if it interests you, I will tell in next 'fors' in this one it is indeed my business, poor gipsy herald as I am, to bring you such a challenge, though you should hunt and hang me for it.
