A Dream Too Wild (RWW)

"Emerson was very much a person of his era, but his thought is timeless because it partakes of the perennial wisdom that has permeated philosophy and religion in every age and culture. Emerson continues to be relevant because, as he said of himself, I am an endless seeker with no past at my back. Spiritual seekers of this and coming ages will continue to find in Emerson a kindred soul."from the Introduction
