Ralph Waldo Emerson's The Conduct of Life is among the gems of his mature works. First published in the year of Abraham Lincoln's election as President, this work poses the questions of human freedom and fate. The book, here newly edited from the original 1860 edition and fully annotated to illuminate and trace Emerson's references, is a great classic of American philosophy and literature. Delicate omens traced in airTo the lone bard true witness bare; Birds with auguries on their wingsChanted undeceiving thingsHim to beckon, him to warn; Well might then the poet scornTo learn of scribe or courierHints writ in vaster character; And on his mind, at dawn of day, Soft shadows of the evening lay
