Wind Scape "ICE"

This old age ought not to creep__ on a human mind.
In nature every moment is new;
The past is always swallowed and forgotten;
The coming only is sacred and nothing is secure but
... Life, Transition, the Energizing Spirit.

from Circles: R.W.Emerson

"Books are the best of things, well used;
abused, among the worst.
What is the right use? What is the one end, which all means go to effect?
They are for nothing... but to INSPIRE!" ...So said Emerson and more;
"I had better never see a book, than to be warped by its attraction,
clean out of my own orbit and made a satellite, instead of a system."

from THE AMERICAN SCHOLAR
--An Oration delivered before the Phi Beta Kappa Society, at Cambridge, August 31, 1837.

Tom's Wit & Jerry II ;)

Wit makes its own welcome...
and levels all distinctions!
No dignity, no learning, no force of character,
can make any stand___ against good wit. ~R.W.Emerson~
