Ralph Waldo Emerson's Awakening...

Emerson's simple account of his awakening
from Nature....

"Standing on the bare ground,

— my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space,

— all mean egotism vanishes.

I become a transparent eye-ball;

I am nothing;

I see all;

the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me;

I am part or particle of God."
