but God will not have his work made manifest by cowards. A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise, shall give him no peace. It is a deliverance which does not deliver. In the attempt his genius deserts him; no muse befriends; no invention, no hope.
A mind might ponder its thought for ages and not gain so much self-knowledge as the passion of love shall teach it in a day. Who knows himself before he has been thrilled with indignation at an outrage, or has heard an eloquent tongue, or has shared the throb of thousands in a national exultation or alarm?

两篇被我看烂了恨不得背下来 The American Scholar；Self-Reliance. 这一段Cast the banting on the rocks, suckle him with the she-wolf's teat..超验与自然主义走向读起来真的妙不可言

读过太多遍，一些部分甚至能背下来。爱默生的文不是鸡汤，要理解超验学说，要有康德的思想作铺垫。写论述当学爱默生，是思想家更是文学家。
