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.
