Imagination is a very high sort of seeing. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every genuine work of art has as much reason for being as the earth and the sun.

Standing on the bare ground, — my head bathed by the blithe air and uplifted into infinite space, — all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or parcel of God.

The world is upheld by the veracity of good men: they make the earth wholesome.
