The Park Analysis

Author: poem of Ralph Waldo Emerson Type: poem Views: 8

The prosperous and beautiful
To me seem not to wear
The yoke of conscience masterful,
Which galls me everywhere.

I cannot shake off the god;
On my neck he makes his seat;
I look at my face in the glass,
My eyes his eye-balls meet.

Enchanters! enchantresses!
Your gold makes you seem wise:
The morning mist within your grounds
More proudly rolls, more softly lies.

Yet spake yon purple mountain,
Yet said yon ancient wood,
That night or day, that love or crime
Lead all souls to the Good.

Strictly my interpretation:
The rich don't think they need God and don't have God.
The Poor do and do.
(author once rich, is now Poor)
To the rich, the devil seem wise
but has nothing but lies
(the author finally realized)
But nonetheless, do not worry,
All creation leads everyone
back to God.
(Everyone as in: the Poor and then the rich, once they become Poor)
The concept of rich and Poor here isn't materialistic. It's more of the spirit and soul more specifically the proud and humble. Rich, the proud and Poor, the humble.
