That Emerson quote is beautifully written nonsense. I don't believe Emerson wrote anything that I would consider nonsense.

He said a ton of things I would call nonsense. Talent and wisdom are not always together in the same person.

Emerson, unfortunately, wrote a great deal of nonsense, some of which actually caused harm. The New England Transcendentalists have much to answer for.
