For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings, and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word, a verse, and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem.
Ralph Waldo EmersonYou will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it.
Ralph Waldo EmersonNothing can work damage to me except myself; the harm that I sustain I carry about with me and never am a real sufferer except by my own fault.
