Waldo

Famous quotes containing the word waldo:

“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 Emerson (1803–1882)

“Single look has drained the breast,
Single moment years confessed.
The duration of a glance
Is the term of convenance.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“What forests of laurel we bring, and the tears of mankind, to those who stood firm against the opinion of their contemporaries!”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
