arly though not quite altogether the one man in talking with
whom I can get any real profit or comfort. Alas, alas, here is
the end of the paper, dear Emerson; and I had still a whole
wilderness of things to say. Write to me, or even do not write,
and I will surely write again.
I remain as ever Your Affectionate Friend,
T. Carlyle
In November, 1872, Emerson went to England, and the two friends
met again. After a short stay he proceeded to the Continent and
Egypt, returning to London in the spring of 1873. For the last
time Carlyle and he saw each other. In May, Emerson returned
home. After this time no letters passed between him and Carlyle.
They were both old men. Writing had become difficult to them;
and little was left to say.
Carlyle died, eighty-five years old, on the 5th of February,
1881. Emerson died, seventy-nine years old, on the 27th of
April, 1882.
