To mould his fortunes, mean or great:
Unknown to Cromwell as to me
Was Cromwell's measure or degree;... more »

Mine are the night and morning,
The pits of air, the gulf of space,

The innumerable days.... more »
I love thy music, mellow bell,
I love thine iron chime,
To life or death, to heaven or hell,
Which calls the sons of Time.... more »
Daughters of Time, the hypocritic Days,
Muffled and dumb like barefoot dervishes,
And marching single in an endless file,
Bring diadems and fagots in their hands.... more »
Knows he who tills this lonely field
To reap its scanty corn,
What mystic fruit his acres yield
At midnight and at morn?... more »

Comments about Ralph Waldo Emerson
Give All To Love
Give all to love;
Obey thy heart;
Friends, kindred, days,
Estate, good-fame,
Plans, credit, and the Muse,-
Nothing refuse.
'Tis a brave master;
Let it have scope:
Follow it utterly,
Hope beyond hope:
High and more high
It dives into noon,
With wing unspent,
Untold intent;
But it is a god,
Knows its own path,
And the outlets of the sky.
It was not for the mean;
It requireth courage stout,
Souls above doubt,
Valor unbending;
It will reward,-
They shall return
More than they were,
And ever ascending.
Leave all for ...

I basically earn more then $18,000 a month online. It’s enough to comfortably replace my old jobs income, especially considering I only work about 9 to 10 hours a week from home. I was amazed how easy it was after I tried it…
