IX. THE OVER-SOUL

From Essays, First Series by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

“But souls that of his own good life partake, He loves as his own self; dear as his eye They are to Him: He’ll never them forsake: When they shall die, then God himself shall die: They live, they live in blest eternity.” _Henry More_.

Space is ample, east and west, But two cannot go abreast, Cannot travel in it two: Yonder masterful cuckoo Crowds every egg out of the nest, Quick or dead, except its own; A spell is laid on sod and stone, Night and Day ’ve been tampered with, Every quality and pith Surcharged and sultry with a power That works its will on age and hour.
