An Essay of Quotation and Originality. True to Emerson's form and spirit in an original take on the lessons that are often missed in the writing of History. In exploration of what it was to be Emerson, the author attempts to be Emerson himself. The style of thought, of poetry and prose, the style of influence, of formatting and design of reading, the form of word, in quotation, literal and figurative. It truly strives to live by the mantra, For I am Emerson, and Emerson is Me. For Emerson is Us, all of us.
