Nature and Selected Essays | Ralph Waldo Emerson
post image

The Transcendentalists seem to know my heart. After finishing Thoreau's biography, I'm now on a mission to work my way through all the primary documents of that time in an orderly way. I've read most of this stuff, but only Willy-nilly--I'm so excited! The logical place to begin is with Emerson, so an essay every day or so from him is where I'll begin!

Lindy Your excitement makes me smile in recognition of that particular pleasure/obsession, the thirst for deep knowledge on a subject. 🤓 7y
Nat_Reads @lindy Who or what subject gives you this particular pleasure? 7y

Lindy @Nat_Reads I don't have one at the moment, but in the past it's been varied: soil microbiology, history of gardens, photography as an art form, the art of children's picture books across time and places, edible wild plants… and more. 7y
Lindy @Nat_Reads Oooh, and pottery designs from ancient Mesopotamia —that was a big one that still grabs me every time I see something new on the subject. 7y
Nat_Reads @lindy How FUN!! There are too many beautiful things. I want to know all about them ALL! 7y
Lindy @Nat_Reads Me too. 😁 7y
