PoEaa By K. " Emerson. Blue and Gold.
Boston Ilcknor & Fields.
Enerson Is not popular poet and never will
Be. Whether the fault DO ia him or in the poo
pie, Is question as yet undecided by literary
men the multitude, however, long since de
cded it in their own favor To the million the
greater portion Of hls verses are simply lncom-
prehensible, almost as much 30 AZ though they
were written 10 Chinese characters or Egyptian
hlerogyphics. Perhaps however We may find
al explanation Of thu, entirely co nsistent with
the belief IN Emersons poetical genius, in the
beginning of the D." Wood Notes, - in this vol

1t Emerson meant, a, quite likely he did
mean, in these verses TO describe himself as a
p9e." born out of time" and that all bis gen.
ius, and hl, converge with nature, and his most
intimate knowledge Of the million beauties Of
tone, form, life and color IN the outer world,
with which oil his intellect and soul, were, as
the mesmetist would say, en- rapport, "booteth
not him, that because he did not love stra
for the trout that might tc caught in them,
nor forests for gam. hidden in their cover, there
fore what be knows nobody wants." he has
very likely given lolerably accurate description
of himself, and furnished a very good reason for
his not being apopular poet. II he means, 10
addition TO tbs, that his sight is sharper, hi,
genus more traneeendent, his perceptions clear
er-that what is obscure to Others because Of
their dullnes, and eatlhncs,, is reyealedto him,
an that he Is, therefore. ouc oil the creates,
poets Of bic time, aud only waiting for the
coming ages to pronounce that decision upon
his merits, we think-not 70 put too fine point
upon il-ho is mistaken. For poetry is not
alone thoughts, tancies, imagiuations, unex.
pressed. There may be such thing as un.
written poetry, but how shall anybody but the
author be any w,er or better Tor IT, II is only
as this airy nothing is given a local hab
itaion and name 10 the poets language, that
we know anything Of il and then We can only
judge Of it by what We know Of it, We mus,
