Ralph Waldo Emerson
Ralph Waldo Emerson was the leading proponent of the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-nineteenth century. He was ordained as a Unitarian minister at Harvard Divinity School but served for only three years before developing his own spiritual philosophy based on individualism and intuition. His essay Nature is arguably his best-known work and was both groundbreaking and highly controversial when it was first published. Emerson also wrote poetry and lectured widely across the US.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Emerson is at once high-minded, and level-headed. (Paraphrase:) “I went to the Vatican Museum, and in the poets and saints in paintings there I saw long-lost friends.” “I went to Rome to see art, although of course if I had wanted to see what people look like, I might have just stayed in Boston.”.........................I also think that the question of language, (I read each section twice), is more a matter of large ideas than funny dialect; it does have substance to it. And it’s nice to know that I’m not the first one to wonder if what we learn is of any use— a question that once vexed me sorely.
