- From 'The Alchemist' by Paulo Coelho, the Alchemist.  The Alchemist is described as a wise, bery old, extremely powerful alchemist who resides in the Al-Fayoum Oasis.  Hee has discovered the Philosopher’s Stone as well as the Elixir of Life, and is able to communicate with the Soul of the World.
-  Similar to what Emerson suggests, the Alchemist has "accepted the place the divine Providence has found for [himself]..." meaning he has transcended to a state of not only self-awareness, but also of tranquility in knowing he has created his own fate.

- "When I say that I'm okay, they look at me kind of strange.  Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game.  People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell that I'm doing Fine..."
- John Lennon's 'Watching the Wheels' draws heavily upon Emerson's work as it reminds us to remain self-sufficient and find inner-satisfaction despite what others say or may deem appropriate.
