Emerson Console

Famous quotes containing the words emerson and/or console:

    For, as it is dislocation and detachment from the life of God, that makes things ugly, the poet, who re-attaches things to nature and the Whole,—re-attaching even artificial things, and violations of nature, to nature, by a deeper insight,—disposes very easily of the most disagreeable facts.
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I shall soon be six-and-twenty. Is there anything in the future that can possibly console us for not being always twenty-five?
