[Literature] Emerson, Ralph Waldo. (1803 - 1882). Autograph Manuscript Page. Original unsigned autograph manuscript page from the Journal of the American poet, author and philosopher whose central role in the Transcendentalist movement earned him a place among the most influential figures in 19th-century literature and thought. His two collections of Essays, which encompass such wide-ranging topics as “Love,” “Self-Reliance,” “Experience,” “Nature,” and “Politics,” remain a fixture of the Western canon.
"Of course, The smallest increments of mental power in the man countervail the largest accumulations of physical impediment in the enterprise. Shakespeare is only an accelerated process. Good fortune is only another name for quick perceptions."
9 lines written in ink on lined paper with the embossed seal of P&P, corners mounted to paper backing, a few spots and stains around the edges not affecting the writing and otherwise fine. 19.5 x 25 cm. Probably one of the sheets originally bound into the “Author’s Centenary Edition” of Emerson’s writings, issued in 1903–04 in an edition of 600 sets, each including an original manuscript page.
