TO RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Richard Le Gallienne

Poet, whose words are like the tight-packed seed Sealed in the capsule of a silver flower, Still at your art we wonder as we read, The art dynamic charging each word with power.

Seeds of the silver flower of Emerson: One, on the winds to Scotland brought, did sink In Carlyle's heart; and one was lately blown To Belgium, and flowered in — Maeterlinck.
