This Transcendentalist essay by the pioneering American poet/philosopher is carefully read by B.R.McKay to convey the beauty of the language and complexity of thought.

Tracks are approximately 3 to 4 minutes long and are indexed by representative lines of quotation. This is a fairly accessable example of Emerson's dense style and his virtuoso articulation of the non-dual.

The essay can be heard many times and will continue to unfold its meaning.
