I am sorry for being a star
and i am sorry for hanging afar
shine only in your darkness
seen only in your drunkenness
that is not what i want
But i am happy for having light
and i am happy for being bright
though you might look only a glimpse
though it takes always a premise
that is still what i want
What an amazing first stanza! You make this self-as-star metaphor perfectly believable, the connection between something as big as a star and a small human being shows how B-I-G your heart has grown, and you are so ready to shine the starlight of your happiness on this person you address. This is a wish which must come true. It's too wonderful not to be shared on the heart-level.
Yes, Emerson and Thoreau are two intimate friends to my soul, serenity is there in their words. Once i insisted father reading Thoreau's Walden, i told him i found his soul is in Thoreau's, and he read it and replied me 'yes, you know me'
That's a wonderful quotation from Emerson! I did not encounter before you quoted it - he wrote so much of value, helping us make sense of Nature, Society, Self. If I had to recommend an American thinker who represents the best of American culture, it would be Emerson (*) , but you're there already, integrating hi thoughts into your arguments. Brava, Anne! (*) or his friend, Henry David Thoreau
'The rays that come from those heavenly worlds, will separate between him and what he touches.'Emerson said this, the distance between him and what he touches is like what between a poet and his inspirations. A wish that all poets' works can shine as bright as a star and leave tender smiles in people's hearts.
