Depths of persons, perspectives, cultures and influences are revealed when Emerson said to Charles Eliot Norton in London (in April 1873 -- after RWE's trip in Egypt, and before returning to the Massachusetts with CEN): "I hate 'Faust'. It is a bad book." (Letter of Charles Eliot Norton, vol. 1, p. 488; Journal, London, April 20-May 10, 1873)
