Philosophy Non-fiction Essays Individualism Nature Self-reliance Freedom The role of the individual in society
Essays is a philosophical work written by Ralph Waldo Emerson and first published in 1844.
"The wings of Time are black and white,
Pied with morning and with night.
Mountain tall and ocean deep
Trembling balance duly keep.
In changing moon, in tidal wave,
Glows the feud of Want and Have.
Gauge of more and less through space
Electric star and pencil plays."
