“If eyes were meant for seeing, then beauty is its own excuse for being.” – Josiah Sanchez

“The Rhodora” (July, 1839 pub.)

by Ralph Waldo Emerson  ( 1803-1882)

In May, when sea-winds pierced our solitudes,

I found the fresh Rhodora in the woods,

Spreading its leafless blooms in a damp nook,

To please the desert and the sluggish brook.

The purple petals fallen in the pool

Made the black water with their beauty gay;

Here might the red-bird come his plumes to cool,

And court the flower that cheapens his array.

Rhodora! if the sages ask thee why

This charm is wasted on the earth and sky,

Tell them, dear, that, if eyes were made for seeing,

Then beauty is its own excuse for Being;

Why thou wert there, O rival of the rose!

I never thought to ask; I never knew;

But in my simple ignorance suppose

The self-same power that brought me there, brought you.

 

“My daddy used to say ‘Best horse you ever saw was only as good as the man riding it.'” Nathan Jackson

“I’m going to drag that murdering sack of dirt back to Texas, and he’s going to tell the jury the truth.” – Vin Tanner
