Noto per aver sfidato il pensiero tradizionale e per la sua fede nell'individuo, Emerson fu il portavoce principale del movimento trascendentalista. Le sue poesie parlano della sua convinzione più appassionata: che l'autorità esterna dovrebbe essere ignorata in favore della propria esperienza. Dai contadini in difficoltà che "spararono il colpo udito in tutto il mondo" nell'emozionante "Concord Hymn", al fiore in "The Rhodora", la cui esistenza dimostra "che se gli occhi fossero fatti per vedere, / Allora la Bellezza è la sua stessa scusa per essere", Emerson celebra l'esistenza del sublime nell'umano e nella natura. Combinando l'intensità del sentimento con il suo famoso idealismo, le poesie di Emerson rivelano un lato commovente e più intimo dell'uomo venerato come il Saggio di Concord.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was a renowned lecturer and writer, whose ideas on philosophy, religion, and literature influenced many writers, including Henry David Thoreau and Walt Whitman. After an undergraduate career at Harvard, he studied at Harvard Divinity School and became an ordained minister, continuing a long line of ministers in his family. He traveled widely and lectured, and became well known for his publications Essays and Nature.
Known for challenging traditional thought and for his faith in the individual, Emerson was the chief spokesman for the Transcendentalist movement. His poems speak to his most passionately held belief: that external authority should be disregarded in favor of one's own experience.
From the embattled farmers who "fired the shot heard round the world" in the stirring "Concord Hymn," to the flower in "The Rhodora," whose existence demonstrates "that if eyes were made for seeing, / Then Beauty is its own excuse for being," Emerson celebrates the existence of the sublime in the human and in nature. Combining intensity of feeling with his famous idealism, Emerson's poems reveal a moving, more intimate side of the man revered as the Sage of Concord.
