Emerson for the Day


"The metamorphosis of nature shows itself in nothing more than this; that there is no word in our language that cannot become typical to us of nature by giving it emphasis. The world is a dancer: it is a Rosary; it is a torrent; it is a Boat: a Mist, a Spider's Snare; it is what you will; and the metaphor will hold...Swifter than light the World transforms itself into that thing you name."

Emerson
