Culture

Title:     Culture
Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson [More Titles by Emerson]

Can rules or tutors educate
The semigod whom we await?
He must be musical,
Tremulous, impressional,
Alive to gentle influence
Of landscape and of sky,
And tender to the spirit-touch
Of man's or maiden's eye:
But, to his native centre fast,
Shall into Future fuse the Past,
And the world's flowing fates in his own mould recast.

[The end]
Ralph Waldo Emerson's poem: Culture
