The preacher enumerates his classes of men and I do not find my place therein
The preacher enumerates his classes of men and I do not find my place therein. I suspect then that no man does. Every thing is my cousin, and when he speaks things, I immediately feel he is touching some of my relations, & I am uneasy, but whilst he deals in words I can slumber and sleep.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Journals and Miscellaneous Notebooks 5:361
