“You take the way from man, not to man. All persons that ever existed are its forgotten ministers.”
1840s, Essays: First Series (1841), Self-Reliance
Context: You take the way from man, not to man. All persons that ever existed are its forgotten ministers. Fear and hope are alike beneath it. There is somewhat low even in hope. In the hour of vision, there is nothing that can be called gratitude, nor properly joy. The soul raised over passion beholds identity and eternal causation, perceives the self-existence of Truth and Right, and calms itself with knowing that all things go well.
