Margaret Fuller quotes - page 7

I long so much to see you! Should anything hinder our meeting upon earth, think of your daughter, as one who always wished, at least, to do her duty, and who always cherished you, according as her mind opened to discover excellence. ... I hope we shall be able to pass some time together yet, in this world. But, if God decrees otherwise, - here and HEREAFTER, - my dearest mother, "Your loving child, MARGARET." (Margaret Fuller)
On the boundless plain careering By an unseen compass steering, Wildly flying, reappearing, - With untamed fire their broad eyes glowing In every step a grand pride showing, Of no servile moment knowing, -Happy as the trees and flowers, In their instinct cradled hours, Happier in fuller powers, -See the wild herd nobly ranging, Nature varying, not changing, Lawful in their lawless ranging.

And dost thou seek to find the one in two? Only upon the old can build the new; The symbol which you seek is found in you. View quote
Margaret Fuller
I only know one prayer - "Give me the truth, Give me that colored whiteness, ancient youth, Complex and simple, seen in joy and ruth.Let me not by vain wishes bar my claim, Nor soothe my hunger by an empty name, Nor crucify the Son of man by hasty blame.But in the earth and fire, water and air, Live earnestly by turns without despair, Nor seek a home till home be every where!"

Margaret Fuller
Come, let us mount on the wings of the morning, Flying for joy of the flight, Wild with all longing, now soaring, now staying, Mingling like day and dawn, swinging and swaying, Hung like a cloud in the light: I am immortal! I feel it! I feel it! Love bears me up, love is might! View quote
