The reading of Emerson on the Over-Soul, on the Law of
Compensation, on the relationship between man and nature, on first
principles and moral courage, self-realization, has had a formative
influence on many readers. Often they first encounter his work by
chance, but on reading him have gradually become confirmed
Emersonians in their outlook. In the quiet of the Old Manse at
Concord, Emerson could reflect at leisure and stretch the great
wings of his imaginative insight. He gave substance to those things
which, though aware of, we find difficult to match with words.
Nature was Emerson's first published work and already there is
evident Emerson's 'characteristic signature affirmation.' Emerson
called his generation back to the primary conditions of man, to the
'insistent now of individual experience.' Emerson would feel a
stranger in our world. Yet part dreamer, part realist, he is with
us still, 'touching the very well springs of our moral courage' as
a reading of The Conduct of Life will show, with its central theme
of living with one's limitations
