More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

I appeal from your customs. i must be myself. i cannot break myself anylonger for you, or you. if you can love me for what i am, we shall bethe happier. if you cannot, i will still seek to deserve that youshould. i will not hide my tastes or aversions. i will so trust thatwhat is deep is holy, that i will do strongly before the sun and moonwhatever inly rejoices me, and the heart appoints. if you are noble, iwill love you; if you are not, i will not hurt you and myself byhypocritical attentions. if you are true, but not in the same truthwith me, cleave to your companions; i will seek my own.

He that plays the king shall be welcome- his majesty shall have tribute of me; the adventurous knight shall use his foil and target; the lover shall not sigh gratis; the humorous man shall end his part in peace; the clown shall make those laugh whose lungs are tickle o' th' sere; and the lady shall say her mind freely, or the blank verse shall halt fort.
