Excerpt from Ralph Waldo Emerson

Emerson called upon her, she wrote, He came with a sunbeam on his countenance. He is a born gentleman. George William Curtis said, A smile broke over his face like day over the sky, and, At Emerson's house it is always morning.

How could it have been otherwise with a man who loved humanity; whose whole life was spent in making the world happier and better; whose every sentence was full of hope and sweetness and courage.

Who wrote, To help the young soul, add energy, inspire hope, and blow the coals into a useful flame; to redeem defeat by new thought, by firm action, that is not easy; that is the work of divine men. And he was one of the divine men whose work in life it was to do this.
