Ralph Waldo Emerson on Religious views on love

← Back to Ralph Waldo Emerson Profile
Love, which is the essence of God, is not for levity, but for the total worth of man.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Venus, when her son was lost, Cried him up and down the coast, In hamlets, palaces, and parks, And told the truant by his marks,— Golden curls, and quiver, and bow.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
