Once upon a midnight dreary, while i pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
—
Only this, and nothing more.
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow; —vainly I had tried to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow-sorrow for the lost.
Edgar Allan Poe

regards nature as the purest, and the most sanctifying moral influence on man, and
advocated a direct intuition of a spiritual and immanent God in nature. In this
connection, Emerson' s emotional experiences are exemplary in more ways than one.
Alone in the woods one day, for instance, he experienced a moment of
he records thus in his Nature:
Standing on the bare ground, my head bathed by the blithe air and uplifted into infinite
space, all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball; I am nothing; I see
all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or particle of
God.

of the Oversoul. In a word, the soul has completely transcended the limits of
individuality and beome part of the Oversoul. Emerson sees spirit pervading
everywhere, not only in the soul of man, but behind nature, throughout nature. The
world proceeds, as he observes, from the same source as the body of man.

the rest of his life. Emerson' s doctrine of the Oversoul is graphically illustrated in such
famous statements;

than Him. This is as much as to say that the spiritual and immanent God is operative in
the soul of man, and that man is divine. The divinity of man became, incidentally, a
favorite subject in his lectures and essays.
This naturally led to another, equally significant, Transcendentalist thesis, that the
individual, not the crowd, is the most important of all. If man depends upon himself,
cultivates himself, and brings out the divine in himself, he can hop to become better and
even perfect. This is what Emerson means by the
tried to convince people that the possibilities for man to develop and improve himself
are infinite. Men should and could be self-reliant. Each man should feel the world as his,
and the world exists for him alone. He should determine his own existence. Everyone
should understand that he makes himself by making his world, and that he makes the
world by making himself.

discretion and the world is yours. Thus, as Henry Nash Smith ventures to suggest,
Emerson' s eye was on man as he could be or could become; he was in the main
optimistic about human perfectibility. The regeneration of the individual leads to the
regeneration of society. Hence his famous remark,

buoyant spirit of his time, the hope that man can become the best person he could hope
to be. Emerson ' s Transcendentalism, with its emphasis on the democratic
individualism, may have provided an ideal explanation for the conduct and activities of
an expanding capitalist society. His essays such as
(in his The Representative Men) reveal his ambivalence toward aggressiveness and
self-seeking.
To Emerson's Transcendentalist eyes, the physical world was vitalistic and evolutionary.
Nature was, to him as to his Puritan forebears, emblematic of God. It mediates between
man and God, and its voice leads to higher truth.

sense. In a word,
first philosophical work Nature rather ihan anything else. The sensual man, Emerson
feels, conforms thoughts to things, and man' s power to connect his thought with its
proper symbol depends upon the simplicity and purity of his character;
nature is he who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood.
him nature is a wholesome moral influence on man and his character. A natural
implication of Emerson' s view on nature is that the world around is symbolic. A lowing
river indicates the ceaseless motion of the universe. The seasons correspond to the life
span of man. The ant, the little drudge, with a small body and a mighty heart, is the
sublime image of man himself.
