INTELLECT by RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: RULE WHICH BY OBEYING GROWS
Last Line: MAKES HIM TO HIS OWN BLOOD STRANGE
Subject(s): KNOWLEDGE;

Rule which by obeying grows
Knowledge not its fountain knows
Wave removing whom it bears
From the shores which he compares
Adding wings thro things to range
Makes him to his own blood strange
