Terminus (poem)
text:
"Terminus" is a poem written by Ralph Waldo Emerson. It was published in May-Day and Other Pieces, his second collection of poetry after Poems. The poem reflects Emerson's status as a transcendentalist and is primarily composed of couplets and triplets. In the poem, Emerson comments on the inevitability of old age and the harsh certainty of death. Emerson makes this point by invoking the name Terminus, the Roman god of endings and boundaries—this makes the god thematically relevant to the poem.
