Could you explain to me what Ralph Emerson is trying to say in his essay "The Poet"?

's essay,
"The Poet" discusses the poet's role in society and the qualities that make up a true
poet.  He believes that poets are visionaries who are able to receive and interpret universal
truths that bind humanity as one.  The poet's responsibility is to articulate these truths to
mankind through written art, and therefore expresses the emotions and feelings that all people
possess, but may not be able to define.  Emerson believed in the concept of over-soul which is a
statement that man and God are united as one.  This means that all knowledge is available to us
at all times; however, we may be unaware of this.  The poet receives this knowledge through
their strong spiritual connection with God and the universe and relays the information to the
rest of humanity.
