3 ⭐ This is a brief introduction to Ralph Waldo Emerson for children. It is very well done, even though when I look at it, I think of Mr. Lincoln. There is nothing wrong with this book per se I just found it a tad bit boring.

"The whited air
Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven
And veils the farm-house at the garden's end."
from "The Snow-Storm" by Ralph Waldo Emerson
What #nature looks like in my world. Supposed to snow all day.

"We teach boys to be such men as we are...We do not give them a training as if we believed in their noble nature...We exercise their understandings to the apprehension and comparison of some facts, to a skill in numbers, in words; we aim to make accountants, attorneys, engineers; but not to make able, earnest, great-hearted men."
I value the things Emerson says as long as I don't think too much about how he treated his wife.
