More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is not expensive to be beautiful. it takes only a little effort to be presentable and beautiful. but it takes some effort. and unfortunately people think of beauty as luxury, beauty as frivolity, ... or extravagance. beauty is a discipline, beauty is art, is harmony, in the ideological sense and in the theological sense, beauty is god and love made real. and the ultimate reach in this world is beauty.

Marriage i think for women is the best of opiates. it kills the thoughts that think about the thoughts, it is the best of opiates. so said maria. but too long in solitude she'd dwelt, and too long her thoughts had felt their strength. so when the man drew near, out popped her thoughts and covered him with fear. poor maria! better that she had kept her thoughts on a chain, for now she's alone again and all in pain; she sighs for the man that went and the thoughts that stay to trouble her dreams by night and her dreams by day.

Death is not earnest in the same way the eternal is. to the earnestness of death belongs precisely that remarkable capacity for awakening, that resonance of a profound mockery which, detached from the thought of the eternal, is an empty and often brash jest, but together with the thought of the eternal is just what it should be, utterly different from the insipid solemness which least of all captures and holds a thought with tension like that of death.
