"Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of Solitaire. It is a grand passion."
"I do not wish to treat friendships daintily, but with the roughest courage. When they are real, they are not glass threads or frost-work, but the solidest thing we know."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The House
...She lays her beams in music,
In music every ore,
To the candence of the whirling world
Which dances round the sun-
That so they shall not be displaced
By lapses or by wars,
But for the love of happy souls
Out live the newest stars.
The Sun is the sole inconsumable fire
And God is the sole inexhaustible Giver.
Good-Bye
Good-bye, proud world! I'm going home:
Thou art not my friend, & I'm not thine.
Long through thy weary crowds I roam;
A river-ark on the ocean brine,
Long I've been tossed like the driven foam;
But now, proud world! I'm going home...
The Sun is the sole inconsumable fire
And God is the sole inexhaustible Giver.
The world is so beautiful that I can hardly believe it exists.
"Beware When the Great God Lets Loose A Thinker On This Planet!" ~Emerson
