Emerson

A good quote from Emerson, that seems like a mix of Hegel, Coleridge, and Poe:

What is that abridgment and selection we observe in all spiritual activity, but itself the creative impulse? for it is the inlet of that higher illumination which teaches to convey a larger sense by simpler symbols. What is a man but nature's finer success in self-explication?
-"Art"
