In like manner, if there is anything grand and daring in human thought or virtue, any reliance on the vast, the unknown; any presentiment; any extravagance of faith, the spiritualist adopts it as most in nature. Like the young Mozart, they are rather ready to cry ten times a day, "But are you sure you love me?" Nay, if they tell you their whole thought, they will own that love seems to them the last and highest gift of nature; that there are persons whom in their hearts they daily thank for existing, -persons whose faces are perhaps unknown to them, but whose fame and spirit have penetrated their solitude, -and for whose sake they wish to exist. ./cache/emerson-transcendentalist-735.epub ./txt/emerson-transcendentalist-735.txt
