Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes, Stars Quotes, Night Quotes

One might think the atmosphere was made transparent with this design, to give man, in the heavenly bodies, the perpetual presence of the sublime... But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile.

He is thus the medium of the highest influence to all who are not on the same level.
