Ralph Waldo Emerson, Address on The Method of Nature, 1841 quotes
"He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses."
That best portion of a good man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.
Wisdom is ofttimes nearer when we stoop Than when we soar.
"He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser, sees newly every time he looks at the object beloved, drawing from it with his eyes and his mind those virtues which it possesses."
