The Starry Phoenix (Original Poem) By: Robert Russomanno

The grass grow
the wind blows
the waves splash
and death comes at last.
To wash away the burden of tomorrow, and all that breathes to last
But wait! a spark, a flicker of fire!
Something that refuses to retire.
It burns and screams and wishes away, the dark grip of death and decay.
The world is its own to find, and it rises to the worlds new horizon of time. For in Itself does it find its way, a path to reach the end of pain.
And when that time comes for all to see, it shall burn ever so brightly. By itself and only for itself,
does the Phoenix find its own destiny

I am quiet.
I am the observer amisdst the chaos,
I am beneath the shallow water,
Below the deep oceans,
Where solace and peace settle,
Making the place their home.

I am quiet.
I do not need any justification to be given,
I do not need any force to be driven,
My routes are not fixed yet,
But as the road goes, my ways will set.

I am quiet.
Just like the stars who do not have pride
When they shine.
Just like the tree who gets cut
But doesn't whine.

I am quiet.
Even if you be judgemental
I am no one to change your mind.
If you be considerable,
I am not the one who will be over kind.

I am quiet.
And there is nothing wrong in being so.
I raise my voice when I need to.
And I stand by my words when I intend to.

I am quiet.
Call me proud or an introvert,
My attitude will remain the same,
Just like my self and my tastes,
It won't change for anyone's sake.

I am quiet.
The ones who know me, know it.
Quiet not because of any incident,
Neither any accident.
Quiet as I love to be myself,
Just like the baby who loves to be
In his own innocence.

Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye"

And I think to myself what a wonderful world"
"The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by..."

The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night"

Henry David Thoreau was a complex man of many talents who worked hard to shape his craft and his life, seeing little difference between them. Born in 1817, one of his first memories was of staying awake at night "looking through the stars to see if I could see God behind them."

In the 1830s, the philosophy of Transcendentalism arose in New England. Some of its most famous adherents, including Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau, are still regarded as leading American thinkers today.

The philosophy of transcendentalism arose in the 1830s in the eastern United States as a reaction to intellectualism. Its adherents yearned for intense spiritual experiences and sought to transcend the purely material world of reason and rationality.

Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau were two of the most famous and influential transcendentalists.

Some influential transcendentalists, such as Margaret Fuller, were early pioneers of feminism.

The philosophy of transcendentalism

The philosophy of transcendentalism originated in Unitarianism, the predominant religious movement in Boston in the early 19th century. Unitarianism was a liberal Christian sect that emphasized rationality, reason, and intellectualism; it was especially popular at Harvard.

The transcendentalists who established the Transcendental Club in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1836-mostly Unitarian clergy and Boston-area intellectuals-did not reject Unitarianism but yearned for a more spiritual experience to balance out the emphasis on pure reason. The very word transcendentalism refers to a spirituality that transcends the realm of rationality and the material world. Transcendentalists believed that humans were fundamentally good but corrupted by society and that they should therefore strive for independence and self-reliance.

Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau were two of the most famous transcendentalists. In 1845, Thoreau moved to a cabin that he built on Walden Pond in Massachusetts and lived there for two years, two months, and two days. He chronicled the experience in his book Walden, published in 1854, which explored the themes of nature, spirituality, self-reliance, and the simple life. Thoreau acknowledged the debt transcendentalism owed to Indian religious beliefs by paying homage to the Bhagavad Gita, a Sanskrit epic that is one of the foundational texts of Hinduism: "In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagvat Geeta, since whose composition years of the gods have elapsed, and in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial."

Emerson gained fame as an essayist and public lecturer; his 1836 essay "Nature" laid out many of the tenets of the transcendentalist philosophy. He suggested that God could be found in nature and that spending time in nature was the closest man could come to the divine. Another of Emerson's most famous works was the 1841 essay "Self-Reliance," a defense of individualism, which emphasized nonconformity and personal responsibility. One of Emerson's most famous quotes, a denunciation of mindless conformity, comes from this essay: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines."

Women and transcendentalism

Other influential transcendentalists were feminist pioneers. Margaret Fuller, a journalist and women's rights advocate, edited The Dial, which was first published in 1840 and served as the primary journal of the transcendentalists until 1844. She was a frequent contributor to the journal and in 1845 published Woman in the Nineteenth Century, an early feminist manifesto that may have inspired the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention -the first conference in America devoted to the issue of women's rights.

Other prominent female transcendentalists include Elizabeth Palmer Peabody, who served as the business manager of The Dial and in 1860 established the first English-language kindergarten in the United States, and Louisa May Alcott, author of the classic novel Little Women.

Transcendentalism and reform

By the 1850s, many transcendentalists had become subsumed in the struggle to abolish slavery. As the incorporation of new territories into the Union exacerbated sectional tensions, the slavery issue dominated New England intellectual circles. Ralph Waldo Emerson, in keeping with his reverence for individual freedom, became a vocal abolitionist and spoke out against the Fugitive Slave Law-which provided for the return of runaway slaves-and the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 -which held that settlers in Kansas and Nebraska would be the ones to decide whether those states would become slave states or free.

Because the leading transcendentalists began to focus their efforts on eliminating chattel slavery, transcendentalism faded from the scene by the 1850s. The ideas and writings of the transcendentalists, however, continued to inspire later reform movements, including the movement for women's suffrage, and the labor movement.

What do you think?

In your opinion, what were the most important components of the transcendentalist philosophy and worldview?

Why was the philosophy of transcendentalism influential in later reform movements, particularly the movement to abolish slavery?

Why do you think transcendentalism and feminism were linked?
