RALPH WALDO EMERSON’S ESSAYS:

THE OVER-SOUL:

"A THRILL PASSES THROUGH ALL MEN AT THE RECEPTION OF NEW TRUTH, OR AT THE PERFORMANCE OF A GREAT ACTION, WHICH COMES OUT OF THE HEART OF NATURE. IN THESE COMMUNICATIONS THE POWER TO SEE IS NOT SEPARATED FROM THE WILL TO DO, BUT THE INSIGHT PROCEEDS FROM OBEDIENCE, AND THE OBEDIENCE PROCEEDS FROM A JOYFUL PERCEPTION.”


CIRCLES: “THE EYE IS THE FIRST CIRCLE; THE HORIZON WHICH IT FORMS
IS THE SECOND; AND THROUGHOUT NATURE THIS PRIMARY FIGURE IS
REPEATED WITHOUT END. IT IS THE HIGHEST EMBLEM IN THE CIPHER OF
THE WORLD.”
