[I changed a few things that were bothering me, & hopefully the audio will be better this time.]

--

Here, have my English project. I did not write this. It is from "Nature" by Emerson, one of my all time favorite essayists.

The song also is not mine. It is from the CD Sanne
[ http://www.youtube.com/sanne4leafclover ] made for me.

"Standing on the bare ground, -- my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space, -- all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me... The name of the nearest friend sounds then foreign and accidental: to be brothers, to be acquaintances, -- master or servant, is then a trifle and a disturbance. I am the lover of uncontained and immortal beauty. In the wilderness, I find something more dear and connate than in the streets or villages. In the tranquil landscape, and especially in the distant line of the horizon, man beholds somewhat as beautiful as his own nature." -R.W. Emerson

  • i forgot to metion this gave me goosebumps.

  • Oh my word!!

    For a moment, I thought she wrote that. I was...literally in awe. My mouth fell open and everything. (lol)

    Somehow, this wasn't nearly as interesting when I read it.

    But I concur, Emerson was a visionary.

    And the video...certainly did it justice. It was magnificent.

see all
