The unending warfare between the individual and society shows us in each generation a poet or two, a dramatist or a musician who exalts and deifies the individual, and leads us back again to the only object which is really worthy of enthusiasm or which can permanently excite it,-the character of a man.
"Emerson and Other Essays"
John Jay Chapman
Fire from its heat you may not analyze, Nor worship from eternal beauty take, Which deifies the lover as he bows.
"Emerson and Other Essays"
John Jay Chapman
In a way it does not matter, your physical condition or mine, if our "eyes have seen the glory" that deifies life and makes even its waste places beautiful.
"The Untroubled Mind"
Herbert J. Hall
