Ralph Waldo Emerson on Poetry about love

“A ruddy drop of manly blood The surging sea outweighs; The world uncertain comes and goes, The lover rooted stays.”

“The solid, solid universe Is pervious to Love; With bandaged eyes he never errs, Around, below, above. His blinding light He flingeth white On God's and Satan's brood, And reconciles By mystic wiles The evil and the good.”
