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.
'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.
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
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'
