More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

Each of the parts of philosophy is a philosophical whole, a circle rounded and complete in itself. in each of these parts, however, the philosophical idea is found in a particular specificality or medium. the single circle, because it is a real totality, bursts through the limits imposed by its special medium, and gives rise to a wider circle. the whole of philosophy in this way resembles a circle of circles. the idea appears in each single circle, but, at the same time, the whole idea is constituted by the system of these peculiar phases, and each is a necessary member of the organisation.

Neither is there figurative and non-figurative art. all things appear to us in the shape of forms. even in metaphysics ideas are expressed by forms. well then, think how absurd it would be to think of painting without the imagery of forms. a figure, an object, a circle, are forms; they affect us more or less intensely.

Walt understood all of those things, and even common things about people. for instance: usually you get your idea of what kind of day it is by looking at the horizon, because the horizon is your eye level. so what walt did is to eliminate the horizon.

If nature leads us to mathematical forms of great simplicity and beauty - by forms i am referring to coherent systems of hypothesis, axioms, etc. - to forms that no one has previously encountered, we cannot help thinking that they are "true," that they reveal a genuine feature of nature... you must have felt this too: the almost frightening simplicity and wholeness of relationships which nature suddenly spreads out before us and for which none of us was in the least prepared.
