Emerson as q Poet.

Hermann Grimm recurs to the dis
pute whether our sage was poet o
philosopher, or a prophet. The fact IS
that he was born with certain notes OF
song; he had the poets eye and ear,
and was poet just so far rs, beng. II
philosopher, he accepted poetry os tho
expression Of thought in its rare and
prophetic moods, and just so far as, IN
exquisite moments, he had the mastery
of this form of expression.
Emcrson's prose is full OF poetry, and
his poems are light and air. But this
statement, like 80 many Of his own,
gives only one side Of a truth, His
prose is Just us full Of everyday sense
and wisdom; and something different
from prose, however sublunary and i'm
aQinatiye, is needed TO constitute poem.
His verse often diamond'like in con-
trast with the ieldspar OF others at
times is ill.cut and beclouded. His
prose, then, is that of wise man, plus
n poet and his verse, by turns, light
and twilight, air and yapor. let we
never feel, as in reading Wordsworth,
that certain Of his measures are wholly
prosaic. He was so careless of ordinary
standards that few OF his own craft
have held his verse at its worth.
II is said that his influence was
chiefly, like that Of Socrates, upon the
sensitive and young, and such is the
case with all fresh influences; but take
il that those who have fairly assimilated
Emcrson's poetry in their youth have
been not so much born poets ms born
thinkers Of a poetic cast 1t is inevita-
bic, and partakes Of growth by exercise,
that poets in youth should value mas
tcr's sound and color and form, rather
than priceless Thought. They are
drawn to the latter by the former, or
not Mt all. Yet when poets, even III tins
day Of refinement, have served Their
technical apprenticeship, the depth and
frequent splendor Of Emcrson's verse
