Each and All<\/h2>\n

?By Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/p>\n

Little thinks, in the field, yon red-cloaked clown
\nOf thee from the hill-top looking down;
\nThe heifer that lows in the upland farm,
\nFar-heard, lows not thine ear to charm;
\nThe sexton, tolling his bell at noon,
\nDeems not that great Napoleon
\nStops his horse, and lists with delight,
\nWhilst his files sweep round yon Alpine height;
\nNor knowest thou what argument
\nThy life to thy neighbor’s creed has lent.
\nAll are needed by each one;
\nNothing is fair or good alone.
\nI thought the sparrow’s note from heaven,
\nSinging at dawn on the alder bough;
\nI brought him home, in his nest, at even;
\nHe sings the song, but it cheers not now,
\nFor I did not bring home the river and sky;?
\nHe sang to my ear,?they sang to my eye.
\nThe delicate shells lay on the shore;
\nThe bubbles of the latest wave
\nFresh pearls to their enamel gave,
\nAnd the bellowing of the savage sea
\nGreeted their safe escape to me.
\nI wiped away the weeds and foam,
\nI fetched my sea-born treasures home;
\nBut the poor, unsightly, noisome things
\nHad left their beauty on the shore
\nWith the sun and the sand and the wild uproar.
\nThe lover watched his graceful maid,
\nAs ‘mid the virgin train she strayed,
\nNor knew her beauty’s best attire
\nWas woven still by the snow-white choir.
\nAt last she came to his hermitage,
\nLike the bird from the woodlands to the cage;?
\nThe gay enchantment was undone,
\nA gentle wife, but fairy none.
\nThen I said, ‘I covet truth;
\nBeauty is unripe childhood’s cheat;
\nI leave it behind with the games of youth:’?
\nAs I spoke, beneath my feet
\nThe ground-pine curled its pretty wreath,
\nRunning over the club-moss burrs;
\nI inhaled the violet’s breath;
\nAround me stood the oaks and firs;
\nPine-cones and acorns lay on the ground;
\nOver me soared the eternal sky.
\nFull of light and of deity;
\nAgain I saw, again I heard,
\nThe rolling river, the morning bird;?
\nBeauty through my senses stole;
\nI yielded myself to the perfect whole.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
