More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.
Book Fall Weather
I am a product of endless books. my father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. there were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...in the seemingly endless rainy afternoons i took volume after volume from the shelves. i had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.

My daughter is seven, and some of the other second-grade parents complain that their children don't read for pleasure. when i visit their homes, the children's rooms are crammed with expensive books, but the parent's rooms are empty. those children do not see their parents reading, as i did every day of my childhood. by contrast, when i walk into an apartment with books on the shelves, books on the bedside tables, books on the floor, and books on the toilet tank, then i know what i would see if i opened the door that says 'private--grownups keep out': a child sprawled on the bed, reading.

All our thoughts and concepts are called up by sense-experiences and have a meaning only in reference to these sense-experiences. on the other hand, however, they are products of the spontaneous activity of our minds; they are thus in no wise logical consequences of the contents of these sense-experiences. if, therefore, we wish to grasp the essence of a complex of abstract notions we must for the one part investigate the mutual relationships between the concepts and the assertions made about them; for the other, we must investigate how they are related to the experiences.

Lovers o lovers, lovers it is time to set out from the world. i hear a drum in my soul's ear coming from the depths of the stars. our camel driver is at work; the caravan is being readied. he asks that we forgive him for the disturbance he has caused us, he asks why we travellers are asleep. everywhere the murmur of departure; the stars, like candles thrust at us from behind blue veils, and as if to make the invisible plain, a wondrous people have come forth.

Actors who are lovers in real life are often incapable if playing the part of lovers to an audience. it is equally true that sympathy between actors who are not lovers may create a temporary emotion that is perfectly sincere.
