Give all to love;
Obey thy heart;
Friends, kindred, days
Estate, good fame,
Plans, credit and the Muse,
Nothing refuse.
"Tis a brave master;
Let it have scope:
Follow it utterly,
Hope beyond hope:
High and more high
It dives into noon,
With wing unspent,
Untold intent;
But it is a God,
knows its own path,
And the outlets of the sky.
It was never for the mean;
It requireth courage stout,
Souls above doubt
Valour unbending:
Such 'twill reward;
They shall return
More than they were,
and ever ascending ...
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
