Eros
Eros - meaning Summary
Love as Primal Knowledge
Emerson's "Eros" argues that the world’s essential meaning is brief while accounts of it are lengthy. The poem reduces human experience to the elemental fact of mutual love: to love and be beloved. Neither mortals nor gods can outlearn or improve this basic insight; reinterpretations lengthen the report but do not alter the core sense. Love is presented as an irreducible, unchanging human constant.
Read Complete AnalysesThe sense of the world is short, - Long and various the report, - To love and be beloved; Men and gods have not outlearned it; And, how oft soe'er they've turned it, 'Tis not to be improved.
