Cast the bantling on the rocks,
Suckle him with the she-wolf’s teat;
Wintered with the hawk and fox,
Power and speed be hands and feet.
— Emerson, epigraph to “Self-Reliance”
“The fearful unbelief is unbelief in yourself.”
Cast the bantling on the rocks,
Suckle him with the she-wolf’s teat;
Wintered with the hawk and fox,
Power and speed be hands and feet.
— Emerson, epigraph to “Self-Reliance”
