Nature and books belong to the eyes that see them. it depends on the mood of the man, whether he shall see the sunset or the fine poem. there are always sunsets, and there is always genius; but only a few hours so serene that we can relish nature or criticism. the more or less depends on structure or temperament. temperament is the iron wire on which the beads are strung. of what use is fortune or talent to a cold and defective store?

Nature And Books Belong To The Eyes

More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

As for the bracelet mom wore to the funeral, what i did was i converted dad’s last voice message into morse code, and i used sky-blue beads for silence, maroon beads for breaks between letters, violet beads for breaks between words, and long and short pieces of string between the beads for long and short beeps, which are actually called blips, i think, or something. dad would have known.
Mom Dad Thinking
Freedom is only to be found where there is burden to be shouldered. in creative achievements this burden always represents an imperative and a need that weighs heavily upon man’s mood, so that he comes to be in a mood of melancholy. all creative action resides in a mood of melancholy, whether we are clearly aware of the fact or not, whether we speak at length about it or not. all creative action resides in a mood of melancholy, but this is not to say that everyone in a melancholy mood is creative.
Men Creative Needs
I intend to work for this dance of the future. i do not know whether i have the necessary qualities; i may have neither genius nor talent nor temperament. but i know that i have a will; and will and energy sometimes prove greater than either genius or talent or temperament.

I keep feeling that there isn't one poem being written by any one of us - or a book or anything like that. the whole life of us writers, the whole product i guess i mean, is the one long poem - a community effort if you will. it's all the same poem. it doesn't belong to any one writer - it's god's poem perhaps. or god's people's poem.
Book Mean Long
Genius is talent provided with ideals. genius starves while talent wears purple and fine linen. the man of genius of today will infifty years' time be in most cases no more than a man of talent.
Men Years Purple
When the sun shouts and people abound one thinks there were the ages of stone and the age of bronze and the iron age; iron the unstable metal; steel made of iron, unstable as his mother; the tow-ered-up cities will be stains of rust on mounds of plaster. roots will not pierce the heaps for a time, kind rains will cure them, then nothing will remain of the iron age and all these people but a thigh-bone or so, a poem stuck in the world's thought, splinters of glass in the rubbish dumps, a concrete dam far off in the mountain.

The dirty little secret is that i grew up in a household where there were no carbohydrates allowed, ever. no cookies, no bread, no potatoes, no rice. my mother was very extreme in terms of what she served. since i left home more than 40 years ago, i've been making it right for myself.
