What else to make of Adam in Genesis being credited for the first naming of all creatures: “And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.” As Emerson so well documents in his essay on Poetry, the most ancient function of the poet was this “naming” of things. Language developed through the ancient poets designating names for every object in the Creation; it was the poets that gave us the words designating “A rose, is a rose, is a rose.” But without poets, the rose would go unnamed in any language. And from this function of the ancient poets in their capacity as the makers of names, language as we know it came into being.
