A quote by Emerson on Success showed up as a meme on FB and maybe other places too.. It got me thinking of William James and W.B. Yeats words that I associate with "success" in the tacky commercialized sense and wondering if Emerson really said(or wrote this).. It's good that I searched because he probably didn't maybe he wasn't quite this 'pedantic' !?? I want to read and think a it more with his other poems though too.^2

> "this has the same pedantic feel and plodding meter of 'Success,' and WHC's dates are close to Emerson's. It appears that this type of writing was in vogue in the 2nd half of the 19th C. Even if 'Success' can't be found in WHC's writings, I think a search of the writings of Unitarians of that period are likely to bear fruit." Perhaps someone will be motivated to take an interest and follow this up.
