Emerson has succeeded too well. He has isolated the seer so completely, voided nature so entirely, that he can observe nothing but the rumblings within his own prose…What Emerson fears is what we hear suppressed and echoing through his prose:
- Do you see that kitten chasing so prettily her own tail? If you could look with her eyes you might see her surrounded with hundreds of figures performing complex dramas, with tragic and comic issues, long conversations, many characters, many ups and downs of fate, - and meantime it is only puss and her tail. How long before our masquerade will end its noise of tambourines, laughter and shouting, and we shall find it was a solitary performance? A subject and an object, - it takes so much to make the galvanic circuit complete, but magnitude adds nothing. What imports it whether it is Kepler and the sphere, Columbus and America, a reader and his book, or puss with her tail?
Emerson as quoted by Brodhead
honestly i fucking hate this essay but i can’t say i mind too much of reading analyses. shit like this makes me want to cry with joy, that someone else (no matter how outrageously ingenious and intellectually separate from my world) understands

DIDN’T DO A SINGLE SENTENCE OF MY MOBY DICK ESSAY
fuck you moby dick, fuck you fletcher, fuck you education, fuck you society
one line of freedom snorted straight up the nostril,
one dose shot straight up the arm,
one glass engulfed straight up the lungs,
it’s enough to make us go wild for the rest of our lives.
so often we forget that we’re still pawns, that freedom is gratuitous but mean and cruel and shamelessly malignant
spreads like a cancer through our veins and in minutes, we collapse and suffer and forget all we’re worth
because freedom is not liberty. it is not beautiful or heavenly.
it keeps us right there. caged.
