Excerpt from Emerson at Home and Abroad At last the day came when I stood at the door of Emerson. I had entered the Divinity College at Cam bridge, and carried a letter from one of his friends; but I was nervous, and it was some relief to hear he was not at home. His little daughter and son, how ever, brought me an invitation from Mrs. Emerson to return soon, and meantime they took me on a beautiful walk, - a walk amid apple trees, where we sat and told tales in a lovely Lost Bower. I was taken to Emerson by his children and gave him my note of introduction. He remembered, and said, Surely you are my Virginian correspondent. With that he extended his hand and welcomed me with a smile his smile, not to be lightly lost by one it has warmed. For me, who never before had seen a great man, who yet in my minority was cut off from every relative and had alienated every early friend, this wel coming word and smile was the break of a new day. I could not answer. Many years after I read that one in paradise was asked how he got there and replied, One day as Buddha passed by he smiled upon me. Twenty-eight years later, on that spot where I first met Emerson I parted from him to see him no more. It was with the old grasp of hand, and with that smile on his face to win which would at any time have meant to me success. It is before me now, and shall not be changed to a frown by any sentence in this little book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Emerson at Home and Abroad It needed this night to bring out the star of that hope. "I send you," a friend writes, "a sprig from the evergreen that bordered Emerson's grave as his coffin was lowered into it this afternoon. I dropped a piece in after the school-children had covered the coffin with their tributes, and kept the rest, of which this is a part." Is this bit of evergreen, already dust, all the Amen Nature can give to the faith of its greatest heart? Ye pines and oaks of Sleepy Hollow, awake! Wrestle, as Herakles for Alcestis, grapple with Death for your poet and lover! Search with every rootlet for the seed of that brain, and lift it again to upper air! Alas! Nature has been faithless. He trusted her April smiles and she chilled him with death; and now she seems to contradict his living word, drawing those he taught to live in the present to find their paradise in the past he made so beautiful. But the ground laurel on his grave and the whispering oaks and pines waving above it have sent abroad their message to those who with him have walked that sacred grove, saying, "What he has been to thee that shalt thou tell. Into the grave of memory shalt thou search and lift by what art thou canst every gracious word he gave thee, every thought he inspired, and all the beautiful life thou didst witness, to its resurrection and life, that he may, through love, be as immortal as a mortal can be."

Excerpt from Through the Year With Emerson January First. We have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken. the whole human family is bathed with an element of love like a fine ether. January Second. The effect of the indulgence of this human affection is a certain cordial exhilaration. January Third. Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed. January Fourth. Two may talk and one may hear, but three cannot take part in a conversation of the most sincere and searching sort. January Fifth. Almost every man we meet requires some civility, requires to be humored; but a friend is a sane man who exercises not my ingenuity, but me.

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.

Excerpt from Ralph Waldo Emerson A New venture into a field from which biography and criticism have drawn repeated and ample harvest may avert the charge of impertinence by pointing to the fresh materials in the ten-volume edition of the Journals, 1909-14, brought out under the careful and tasteful editorship of Edward Waldo Emerson and Waldo Emerson Forbes. Of this copious and varied matter the present work has made extensive use. References to Emeron's works in this volume are based exclusively on the "Centenary" edition. Essays and smaller prose compositions generally are referred to by title followed by volume and page in the "Centenary" edition: thus, Fate, VI, 41. Poems are classed under the general title Poems followed by the appropriate volume and page. The following abbreviations have been used: Jour. for "Journals"; "Cabot," for J. E. Cabot's well-known and admirable Memoir; E. in C., for Dr. Emerson's Emerson in Concord, and C. E. C. for Carlyle-Emerson Correspondence. Garnetts's Emerson, Holmes's Ralph Waldo Emerson, Professor Woodberry's Emerson, Conway's Emerson at Home and abroad, are referred to by the names of their authors, Garnett, Holmes, Woodberry, and Conway.
