History & Politics
Agassiz—Emerson
From Niagara, and Other Poems (1904)
History & Politics
Far different the task assigned,
Yet were they one in loftiest aim;
True mirror, each, of the Eternal Mind,
They share a common fadeless fame.
One Will they owned, with rapturous awe,
One sway supreme from man to Mars,—
Chanting the chorus of the moral law
With Seraphim and Morning Stars!
