Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character.
Ralph Waldo EmersonThe April winds are magical, And thrill our tuneful frames; The garden-walks are passional To bachelors and dames.
Ralph Waldo EmersonFor the time of towns is tolled from the world by funereal chimes, but in nature the universal hours are counted by succeeding tribes of animals and plants, and by growth of joy on joy.
Ralph Waldo EmersonWhere dwells the religion? Tell me first where dwells electricity, or motion, or thought or gesture. They do not dwell or stay atall. Electricity cannot be made fast, mortared up and ended, like London Monument, or the Tower, so that you shall know where to find it, and keep it fixed, as the English do with their things, forevermore; it is passing, glancing, gesticular; it is a traveller, a newness, a surprise, a secret which perplexes them, and puts them out.
