Caryle's Pessimism

Thomas Carlye's friendship with Ralph
Waldo Emerson is a matter of history,
but Charles Eliot Norton tells in his newly
published letters that Carlyle marveled
at the optimism of the American phil
osopher. writing in 1878. Norton says: "As
we were sitting together just after my

of Emerson. There's a great contrast
between Emerson and myself. He seems
verra content with life, and takes much
satisfaction in the world, especially IN
your country. One would suppose to hear
him that ye had no troubles there, and
no share in the darkness that hangs over
these old lands. It's verra strikin' and
curious spectacle to behold man so con-
fidently cheerful as Emerson in these
days.
