| | EMERSON - ESSAYS - DIVINITY SCHOOL ADDRESS |
 | | The doctrine of the divine nature being forgotten, a sickness infects and dwarfs the constitution. |
 | | And because the indwelling Supreme Spirit cannot wholly be got rid of, the doctrine of it suffers this perversion, that the divine nature is attributed to one or two persons, and denied to all the rest, and denied with fury. |
 | | Now man is ashamed of himself; he skulks and sneaks through the world, to be tolerated, to be pitied, and scarcely in a thousand years does any man dare to be wise and good, and so draw after him the tears and blessings of his kind. |
