  1. John Matteson _ Eden's Outcasts: The Story of

    Emerson decried the life of the average person, so intent on satisfying the monotonous wants of an unexceptional life that the omnipresent miracles of the universe are invisible to him. Let the sun go up the sky, and the moon shine, and innumerable stars move before him in orbits so vast that centuries will not fulfill them…. He does not care-he does not know-he is creeping in a little path of his own…following a few appetites…peering around for a little bread.
