 I read Nature, which I think is in this collection. Nature is beautifully written, as is the rest I am sure.

 I didn't know about what great prose Emerson had. I guess I missed that in the 7th grade.

 Emerson never goes out of style. Everytime I read his work, I find new insights.

 This is the most amazing piece of literature that I have ever read, it surpasses and self-help book, and will bring you to tears, it teaches you to not be afraid of yourself, and to be yourself always, rather than follow other peoples wishes and conform to their beliefs

 The only reason I ever touched Emerson was because I was forced to for class. Complete self-indulgent crap.

 Emerson is much harder to read than Thoreau but still worth your time.

 Quotes from this text decorated the back of my notebook the summer between my tenth and twelfth grade years when I was in summer school to skip the eleventh grade. I am certain that this essay and a girl named Margaret were the only reasons I got through.

 A compelling essay....
A story of growth,
with in our own souls and cached desires...
A great read for anyone who enjoys gaining awareness...
eventhough Poe and Emmerson had their differences they were much alike in format...
