This delicate dance has been examined -by Ralph Waldo Emerson. In an essay on the subject, found in his altogether soul-expanding Essays and Lectures - Emerson considers the intricate dynamics of friendship, beginning with our often underutilized innate capacities-natural byproduct of our interaction with the world. A century and a half before the modern social web, he pens a passage that rings with extraordinary poignancy and prescience today--I carefully pack your book, hop on my Vespa visit the PO to have it placed in our mail system.
