Emerson Phrasis Recited

EMERSON PHRASIS
Tokens of love,for the most
part,cold and lifeless.They
represent not our life.The
only true gift,a portion of
ourself.So just for we,let
the farmer give corn,a miner
a gem,the sailor coral from
the sea.Let the painter unroll a
picture fair,the poet his heart to share
From Emerson Essays

Listen to me read this phrasis on youtube under the pen name ichthyschiro
