Excerpt from Remembrances of Emerson

Emerson's life and the influence of his books make a large subject, and it would have been easily possible to have extended these pages to a much greater length; but I preferred to limit my effort and to condense what I had to say into a brief compass. I have an aversion to long,laborious and usually frigid biographies. Let them come from the heart and form sincere admiration, and who does not read them with sympathy? I prefer Xenophon's artless yet affectionate memories of Socrates to the voluminous records of Plato. It is not that I like the philosopher less, but the man, the citizen, the soldier, the humorist more.
