“Every individual nature has its own beauty. One is struck in every company, at every fireside, with the riches of nature, when he hears so many new tones, all musical, sees in each person original manners, which have a proper and peculiar charm, and reads new expressions of face. He perceives that nature has laid for each the foundations of a divine building, if the soul will build thereon.” IfsPersonsSoulFacesIndividualCompanyBuildingDivineExpressionOriginalsFoundationMusicalIndividualityRichesMannersPerceiveToneCharmPeculiar Book:Delphi Complete Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Ralph Waldo Emerson (Illustrated)
