i realize that my plan for daily blogging has been sporadic at best. i have ideas and thoughts to share, but they never seem to make it on here. i guess there is always room for improvement right?
my american literature class has made it to the american renaissance. whoo hoo! so here's a bit from the ever optimistic ralph waldo emerson.
"every spirit builds itself a house, and beyond its house a world, and beyond its world a heaven. know then that the world exists for you. for you is the phenomenon perfect. what we are, that only can we see. all that adam had, all that caesar could, you have and can do. adam called his house, heaven and earth; caesar called his house, rome; you perhaps call yours, a cobbler's trade; a hundred acres of ploughed land; or a scholar's garret. yet line for line and point for point your dominion is as great as theirs, though without fine names. build therefore your own world."
