Ralph Waldo Emerson Poems

Friends, kindred, days,
Estate, good-fame,

I love thine iron chime,
To life or death, to heaven or hell,
Which calls the sons of Time.
...
Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes

The boy is a Greek; the youth, romantic; the adult, reflective.
For, the experience of each new age requires a new confession, and the world seems always waiting for its poet.
