rnaudioproductions for http://www.ipodity.com/ '>http://www.ipodity.com/ http://www.allcast.co.uk/ Good-Bye by Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803--1882) read by Lorelei King Ralph Waldo Emerson (25 May 1803 -- 27 April 1882) was an American essayist, philosopher, poet, and leader of the Transcendentalist movement in the early 19th century. His teachings directly influenced the growing New Thought movement of the mid 1800s. GOOD-BYE, proud world! I'm going home: Thou art not my friend, and I'm not thine. Long through thy weary crowds I roam; A river-ark on the ocean brine, Long I've been tossed like the driven foam; But now, proud world! I'm going home. Good-bye to Flattery's fawning face; To Grandeur with his wise grimace; To upstart Wealth's averted eye; To supple Office, low and high; To crowded halls, to court and street; To frozen hearts and hasting feet; To those who go, and those who come; Good-bye, proud world! I'm going home. I am going to my own hearth-stone, Bosomed in yon green hills alone,— A secret nook in a pleasant land, Whose groves the frolic fairies planned; Where arches green, the livelong day, Echo the blackbird's roundelay, And vulgar feet have never trod A spot that is sacred to thought and God. O, when I am safe in my sylvan home, I tread on the pride of Greece and Rome; And when I am stretched beneath the pines, Where the evening star so holy shines, I laugh at the lore and the pride of man, At the sophist schools and the learned clan; For what are they all, in their high conceit, When man in the bush with God may meet?

Not a big fan of poetry, but this is absolutely beautiful. Emerson is the man.

This man got me to quit political science and write poetry. I'm glad I found him before I declared my major *insert the drum line that most play after a joke here*

Emerson said that he wrote 'Good-by' in 1823, when he would have been 20, though it was not published until years later.
