Emerson’s water

Published on by Laura Bloomsbury6 Comments
  • The water understands, Civilization well;
  • “It wets my foot, but prettily,”
  • “It chills my life, but wittily”
  • “It is not disconcerted, It is not broken-hearted: “
  • “Well used, it decketh joy, “
  • “Adorneth, doubleth joy: “
  • “Ill used, it will destroy, In perfect time and measure”
  • “With a face of golden pleasure “
  • “Elegantly destroy.”
