Ralph Waldo

Famous quotes containing the words ralph waldo and/or waldo:

    We see God face to face every hour, and know the savor of Nature.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    There a captive sat in chains
    Crooning ditties treasured well
    From his Afric’s torrid plains.
    Sole estate his sire bequeathed,—
    Hapless sire to hapless son,—
    Was the wailing song he breathed,
    And his chain when life was done.
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
