1A. "It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do."

1B. "Perhaps we should be more susceptible to some influences important to our intellectual and moral growth, if the sun had shone and the wind blown on us a little less; and no doubt it is a nice matter to proportion rightly the thick and thin skin."

1D. "And as the eye is the best composer, so light is the first of painters. There is no object so foul that intense light will not make beautiful. And the stimulus it affords to the sense and a sort of infinitude which it hath, like space and time, make all matter gay."

My verse to the world will be that I will be known as the woman who is respected and looked up to by others. I want to be tough, yet sensitive to others, like in Thoreau’s piece where he says “no doubt it is a nice matter to proportion rightly the thick and thin skin” so that I will be seen as compassionate and selfless, but also as tough and bold. I want to be an inspirational role model for others so that I may impact others’ lives for the better as well as living mine how I want to live it with no regrets.

To write it, hear it, voice it, feel it, live it,
To witness the beauty of something
that has existed for all of the time
that souls have roamed this world,
To witness its natural power
break through barriers,
To witness its impact
on every component of life,
To witness it connect
each and every soul that has ever lived.

To realize
that every note in one's life
makes up a song that tells a story
To realize that two songs in harmony
make a companionship
To realize that numerous companionships in harmony
make a society
To realize that societies in perfect harmony
make up a symphony of a world we wish we could live in
To realize that perfect symphonies of societies are not achievable
but that we compose our symphony through the dissonance anyways.
To realize that life lies not in the individual notes of a song,
but in the symphony we create together
To rest knowing our story will have been played.

Things in our everyday lives that hold us back from living transcendentally today are technology and the rift between the views of the people living in this country.

Transcendentalism teaches people to model themselves after nature to be self-reliant, independent thinkers of society by showing people how to appreciate and admire nature, describing how it is the highest level of ingenuity to be able to think independently of society while still holding on to beliefs that are unique, and how by living by these traits, one can be a great functioning member of society.
