6234 Ralph Waldo Emerson 1803-1882 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:6234
AUTHOR:Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
QUOTATION:I wiped away the weeds and foam,
I fetched my sea-born treasures home;
But the poor, unsightly, noisome things
Had left their beauty on the shore,
With the sun and the sand and the wild uproar.
