"It was much later than that," said the wife. "It was one o'clock," repeated the man; "I heard it strike one three or four times!" Another good Emersonian story, though I do not know that he ever heard it, is that of an old woman who had a farm in Indiana near the Michigan line. The line was resurveyed, and the authorities set her farm in Michigan.
For her either to call her uncle, or break in upon the Emersonian seclusion of her aunt, she felt would not be well received, under the circumstances, by either of these her relatives. As to the porter, that sable functionary had vanished; there was no electric bell, and the car, one of a Pullman train, had no conductor.
Emerson's face had in it more of what we call the divine than had that of any other author of his time that wonderful, kindly, wise smile the smile of the soul not merely the smile of good nature, but the smile of spiritual welcome and hospitality. Emerson had quality. A good Emersonian will recognize any passage from the Sage in a book of quotations, even if no name is appended.
Carlyle loved Emerson; but the Emersonian philosophy was to him like any other form of old clothes, only rather more grotesque than most. In the Long Vacation of 1848 Froude went alone to Ireland for the third time, and shut himself up at Killarney. From Killarney he wrote a long account of himself to Clough: "KILLARNEY, July 15, 1848.
Most men will now agree that when the great fiery trial came, the Emersonian faith and the democratic assumption abundantly justified themselves. Such "Anarchy" has a great deal to say for itself.

Miss Winthrop, retired from the gaze of the world in the cell that the Pullman-car people euphemistically style a state-room, ignored all such casual excrescences upon the face of nature as mountains, and seriously read her morning chapter of Emerson. Mr. Miss Winthrop, absorbed in her Emersonian devotions, and Mr.
What with surprise and rage and fright, Grace was very nearly frantic For the moment she was powerless her uncle in the smoking-room, her aunt locked up with her Emersonian meditations, the porter in the lobby; the only available person upon whom she could call for aid a horrible drunken murderer and robber, steeped in all the darkest crimes of the frontier!
"We are in a hurry because don't you really know, Louise? because in the crazy atmosphere of this house, one loses the sense of of proportion of differences." "Aren't you rather Emersonian, mamma?" "Do you think so, my dear?
Much has been said of the folly and triviality of all messages coming, or purporting to come, from the Unseen. I think here, as elsewhere, like clings to like, and we get very much what we deserve; or rather, to put it in a more philosophical and Emersonian way, we receive what belongs to us.
Thackeray, as well as Ruskin and Froude, acknowledged him as, beyond the range of his own metier, his master, and the American Lowell, penitent for past disparagement, confesses that "all modern Literature has felt his influence in the right direction"; while the Emersonian hermit Thoreau, a man of more intense though more restricted genius than the poet politician, declares "Carlyle alone with his wide humanity has, since Coleridge, kept to us the promise of England.
