Persons acquaint us with the impersonal . . .


"Persons are supplementary to the primary teaching of the soul. In youth we are mad for persons . . . But the larger experience of man discovers the identical nature appearing through them all. Persons themselves acquaint us with the impersonal . . .


[For] the [impersonal] Oversoul is the background of our being, . . . an immensity not possessed and that cannot be possessed."

Ralph Waldo Emerson
