tZ's RoseTime

"These roses under my window make no reference to former roses or to better ones; they are for what they are; they exist with God to-day. There is no time to them. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence."
Before a rose-bud has burst, its whole life acts; in the full-blown flower there is no more; in the leafless root there is no less. Its nature is satisfied, and it satisfies nature, in all moments alike.
~ EMERSON on SELF-RELIANCE ~

~Essays: First Series (1841) rwE's introductory~

"Man is his own star; and the soul that can
Render an honest and a perfect man,
Commands all light, all influence, all fate;
Nothing to him falls early or too late.
Our acts, our angels are, or good or ill,
Our fatal shadows__ that walk by us still."
Epilogue to Beaumont and Fletcher's Honest Man's Fortune

rwE.Self-Reliance: cold fear...
"But man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present__
above time."

July 15, 1838 and to the Harvard graduates:
Emerson says,
" One is constrained to respect the perfection of this world, in which our senses converse. How wide; how rich; what invitation from every property it gives to every faculty of man!...The mystery of nature was never displayed more happily. The corn and the wine have been freely dealt to all creatures, and the never-broken silence with which the old bounty goes forward, has not yielded yet one word of explanation."

1. The ancestor of every action is just a thought.

2. Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered__ you will never grow.


And so: "He builded better than he knew; the conscious stone to beauty grew."

There is no great and no small;

To the Soul that maketh all;

And where He cometh, all things are;

And He cometh: everywhere.

1841 * ESSAY VI * Friendship: ~R. W. Emerson~

The instinct of affection revives
the hope of union with our mates,
And the returning sense of insulation__
recalls us from this chase.
Every man passes life in search of new friendship: and love.

“No advantages, No powers, No gold or force, can be any help for me!!! I cannot choose but rely on my own poverty more than on your wealth... And I cannot make your consciousness tantamount to mine... Only the star dazzles; the planet has a faint, moon-like ray… I hear what you say of the admirable parts, Tried temper the party in praise, But I see well that for all your purple cloaks, I shall NOT like him; Unless he is at last: a poor Greek__ like me.”

Blog|Jump-Clix ____ Essays XIV. Nature 1844 ~ rwE.

The rounded world is fair to see,
Nine time folded in mystery:
Though baffled seers cannot impart
The secret of its laboring heart,
Throb thine with Nature’s throbbing breast,
And all is clear from east to west,
Spirit... that lurks each form within
Beckons to spirit of its kin;
Self-kindled every atom glows__ ,
And hints the future which it owes.

~"Count to ten... then look again?" & I see a symbolic message... in the lives of the recent paired arrivals. The leaf and the insect: in-sync together somehow, almost looks like_ just one. What might Goethe have seen? Or better still, how about Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top.
