Emerson

Etch thought profound in fond insight, Mould the message to fit the scope; Embrace the grounds for truth and light, Reap true passage with faith and hope; Set the heart straight in joy and cheer, Observe the fest through inner peace; Notice wild spread as passion steers. Intuit fine quest with mental ease, Niche a clear view of certain poise, Prime focus sure with greatness here; Reflect fond dues in steadfast voice, Obtain what's pure where love funds cheer; Sense sublime sight that shows the way, Express bold light as wisdom pays.

I mimic what Lyric Man said, Emerson was a great man and thinker. I also liked his friend Thoreau who loved and explored God's good earth.

Dear Darlene: In my view, one hour reading Emerson and reflecting on his words can help a person become a better human being. In 1973, I discovered Emerson in a tiny bookstore. I still have that yellowed-paged book in my library. What a brilliant mind Emerson possessed. Thank you for your comments, Darlene. All the best, Leon.
