Let the reader find that he cannot afford to omit any line of your writing because you you have omitted every word that he can spare.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe soul is the perceiver and revealer of truth. We know truth when we see it, let skeptic and scoffer say what they choose ... We distinguish the announcements of the soul, its manifestations of its own nature, by the term Revelation. These are always attended by the emotion of the sublime. For this communication is an influx of the Divine mind into our mind. It is an ebb of the individual rivulet before the flowing surges of the sea of life. Every distinct apprehension of this central commandment agitates men with awe and delight.
Ralph Waldo EmersonI find it a great and fatal difference whether I court the Muse, or the Muse courts me. That is the ugly disparity between age and youth.
