Excerpt from Letters From Ralph Waldo Emerson to a Friend: 1838-1853
The letters and fragments of letters here printed are part of the early records of a friendship which, beginning when Emerson was thirty years old, lasted unbroken and cordial till his death. In his well-known essay, Emerson has set forth his conception of friendship in what, with no derogatory intention, he called "fine lyric words," and his idealizing genius is nowhere more manifest than in his depicting of it. For its perfection it must be free from the limitations inevitable in all human relations. It was never to be completely realized.
