Circles - Ralph Waldo Emerson

n nWhat I write, whilst I write it, seems the most natural thing in the world: but yesterday I saw a dreary vacuity in this direction in which now I see so much; and a month hence, I doubt not, I shall wonder who he was that wrote so many continuous pages.-Ralph Waldo Emerson, Circlesn n nn nIn his essay Circles (1841), Emerson writes about how fluid the universe is and the circular patterns that can be seen in it. He maintains that there are no perceptions that are so important they might not seem meaningless in the light of new ideas. That's why, he argues, people gain most when they learn to live with change.n
