Book Description
Excerpt from Poems of Sixty-Five Years The Spider, when included by his friend Samuel Gray Ward in Channing's first series of poems varied but little from its first form, though shortened slightly. When, four years later, Emer son's first collection of poems came out, the resem blance in form of Channing's Spider to a favorite metre of Emerson led people to say that Channing had imitated Emerson's Bumblebee, though in fact his poem was written and printed before a line of Emerson's verse had attracted notice.
