Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes

That Popular Fable Of The Sot Who Was Picked Up Dead Drunk In The Street, Carried To The Duke's House, Washed And Dressed And Laid In The Duke's Bed, And, On His Waking, Treated With All Obsequious Ceremony Like The Duke, And Assured That He Had Been Insane, Owes Its Popularity To The Fact, That It Symbolizes So Well The State Of Man, Who Is In The World A Sort Of Sot, But Now And Then Wakes Up, Exercises His Reason, And Finds Himself A True Prince.
