Evidence: | Elizabeth Barrett to George Goodin Moulton-Barrett, 30 March 1842:
'I have been reading Emerson -- He does away with individuality & personality in a most
extraordinary manner -- teaching that [...] every man's being is a kind of Portico to the God
Over-soul -- with Deity for background [...] there are heresies as thick as blackberries. Still
the occasional beauty of thought & expression, & the noble erectness of the thinking faculty
gave me "wherewithal to glory".' |
