Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes

Leave This Touching And Clawing. Let Him Be To Me A Spirit. A Message, A Thought, A Sincerity, A Glance From Him, I Want, But Not News Nor Pottage. I Can Get Politics, And Chat, And Neighborly Conveniences From Cheaper Companions. Should Not The Society Of My Friend Be To Me Poetic, Pure, Universal, And Great As Nature Itself? Ought I To Feel That Our Tie Is Profane In Comparison With Yonder Bar Of Cloud That Sleeps On The Horizon, Or That Clump Of Waving Grass That Divides The Brook? Let Us Not Vilify, Bur Raise It To That Standard. That Great, Defying Eye, That Scornful Beauty Of His Mien And Action, Do Not Pique Yourself On Reducing, But Rather Fortify And Enhance.
