docxTranscendentalism
I am mad for it to be in contact with me
Echoes, ripples, buzz’d whispers, love-root, silk-thread, crotch and vine,
Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems,

Commentary
Transcendentalism was a group of new ideas in literature, religion, culture, and philosophy that emerged in New England in the early to middle 19th century. It is sometimes called American transcendentalism to distinguish it from other uses of the word transcendental. Transcendentalism began as a protest against the general state of culture and society, and in particular, the state of intellectualism at Harvard and the doctrine of the Unitarian church taught at Harvard Divinity School. Among transcendentalists' core beliefs was an ideal spiritual state that "transcends" the physical and empirical and is realized only through the individual's intuition, rather than through the doctrines of established religions. Prominent transcendentalists included Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Walt Whitman, Amos Bronson Alcott, Orestes Brownson, William Henry Channing, James Freeman Clarke, Christopher Pearse Cranch, John Sullivan Dwight, Convers Francis, Margaret Fuller, William Henry Furness, Frederick Henry Hedge, Theodore Parker, Elizabeth Peabody, George Ripley, and Jones Very.
I am mad for it to be in contact with me
this "contact" begins the poem's first catalogue as "Images and perceptions rush in free association from the unconscious, and the poet sees and feels as would never be possible with intellectual control" (175).
