To see the buds mentally is to create them, and they will bloom not only in the eternal realm but also in the objective life. They lose beauty only when compared with their reflection in the realm of decay and death. Dr. Holmes and James Russell Lowell will find the greatest joy in creating, now they are freed from this sense-limitation of expression. The creator-Mind-is superior to the created-things-and the creation is, that the creator may still more perfectly create. We are now devotees to appearances, to creations, to things,

Emerson tells us:-
Things are in the saddle
And ride mankind.

He tells us also that this Law for Things,
Doth man unking, and adds: ---

And what if Trade sow cities
Like shells along the shore,
And thatch with towns the prairie broad,
With railway ironed o'er
They are but sailing foam-bells
Along Thought's causing stream,
And take their shape and color,
From him that sends the dream.

And again he says of England's abbeys and the pyramids:-

Out of Thought's interior sphere
These wonders rose to upper air.

I add to these words of Emerson these other words from him, prefacing them with that great line of Richard Realf's: ---

Vast the create and beheld, but vaster the inward creator!

Emerson looking to the Over-soul, says of human creations:

These wonders grew as grows the grass,
Art might obey but not surpass.
The passive Master lent his hand
To the vast Soul that o'er him planned!
