Hello,

Poem:

Little thinks, in the field, yon red-cloaked clown,

Of thee from the hill-top looking down;

The heifer that lows in the upland farm,

Far-heard, lows not thine ear to charm;

The sexton, tolling his bell at noon,

Deems not that great Napoleon

Stops his horse, and lists with delight,

Whilst his files sweep round yon Alpine height;

Question:

What is Emerson representing when he describes a field hand, a cow, a church official and a horse in the excerpt above?

A snapshot of different “characters” one may overlook when looking at nature scene

Why:

He talks about things that would be everyday things you would see daily.
