1869. godine Emerson je u svom dnevniku zapisao: Pišem i govorim već nekih 25 ili 30 godina i do sada nemam niti jednog sljedbenika. Zašto? Ne zato jer ono što govorim nije istinito, ne zato jer nije naišlo na inteligentne primatelje, već zato jer u meni nije postojala ni najmanja želja da privlačim ljude k sebi, već da ih usmjeravam k njima samima.
(masterpiece "I and I"- vrlo dobar cover u nedostatku originala)
Been so long since a strange woman has slept in my bed
Look how sweet she sleeps, how free must be her dreams
In another lifetime she must have owned the world, or been faithfully wed
To some righteous king who wrote psalms beside moonlit streams
If she wakes up now, she’ll just want me to talk
I got nothing to say, 'specially about whatever was.
Someone else is speaking with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
I’ve made shoes for everyone, even you, while I still go barefoot.
Took an untrodden path once, where the swift don’t win the race
It goes to the worthy, who can divide the word of truth
Took a stranger to teach me, to look into justice’s beautiful face
