Excerpt from The Influence of Emerson

Plotmus are metaphysicians. They say he was a poet, not a philosopher, as if one could not be the 'other, and as if he were not many things besides a poet., Plato was a poet. The indubitable philosophers have chosen many forms. One writes a dialogue which he calls tdrus or Alciphron, another a poem on The Nature of Things.

Excerpt from The Influence of Emerson

These papers, touching a few of the many influences of Emerson, philosophical, religious, literary, and political, served, the last two many times, as public addresses. Parts of all of them are twenty years old, all of them have grown in the years. Some parts have changed much more than others; and continued to lie on the table, answering calls, for some years yet, all might see greater changes still. I have found that few studies of Emerson bring out his thought and attitude more clearly or impressively than those in which we view him in relation to Parker, with whom among religious teachers in his time his sympathies were closest, and to Carlyle, with whom bis affinities and contrasts are equally striking and didactic. There are doubtless repetitions in the papers here and there; and this, and much besides, their original character and purpose must excuse. They are brought together here, such as they are, in the hope that they may do their part, with the many words that will be said in this centennial time, to prompt young men and women to such new companionship with Emerson as shall give them a larger portion of his idealism and lofty spirit in religion and philosophy and in the service of mankind.
