Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

We are immensed in beauty, but our eyes have no clear vision.

We are immensed in beauty, but our eyes have no clear vision

Summary

This quote reflects the idea that despite the abundant beauty that surrounds us, our perception is often clouded or limited. We live in a world filled with awe-inspiring natural scenery, intricate artwork, and captivating moments, yet our ability to truly appreciate and understand this beauty is hindered by the constraints of our perception. It suggests that we may be missing out on the profound beauty that exists all around us due to our limited understanding or lack of clear vision.

I've criticized President Bush for his failure to use his veto pen. There's plenty of blame to go around. The question is how to solve problems. It's not bailouts. What made America great?

A daydream is a meal at which images are eaten. Some of us are gourmets, some gourmands, and a good many take their images precooked out of a can and swallow them down whole, absent-mindedly and with little relish.
