Mr. Emerson is not one whose vocation it is to state processes of argument ; he is a seer who reports in sweet and significant words what he sees. He looks into the infinite of truth, and records what there passes before his vision. If you see it as he does, you will recognize him for a gifted teacher ; if not, there is little or nothing to be said about it.
