Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
“The soul of man is not an organ
but animates and exercises all the organs;
4. 11. 18.
5. 10. 17.
7. 8. 15.
6. 9. 16.
5. 9, 6. 10, 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15, 10. 16,
15.
25, 16. 26, 27, 17. 28
1.-3. 3, 11. 21, 12.-14. 22, 18. 33, 19. 34
1.-3. 2, 3, 12.-14. 22, 23, 19.-21. 34, 35
1.-3. 1, 2, 12.-14. 23, 24, 19.-21. 35, 36

it is not a function like the power of memory,
of calculation, of comparison,
but uses these as hands and feet;

5. 7, 8, 9, 6. 10, 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15, 10. 16, 17, 18,
15. 25, 16. 26, 27, 17. 28, 29, 30

it is not a faculty, but a light;
5. 9, 6. 10, 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 15, 10. 16, 15. 25,
16. 26, 27, 17. 28
is not the intellect or the will;
5. 7, 8, 6. 11, 7. 12, 8. 13, 9. 14, 10. 17, 18, 15. 25,
16. 26, 17. 29, 30

is the vast background of our being,
4. 11. 18.-21.
in which they lie –
an immensity that is not possessed and
cannot be possessed.”


Ralph Waldo Emerson
Philosopher
