The Divinity School Address

I don't think I've ever gotten more pissed off at a couple pieces of paper in my life. I can see why the Dean of Harvard didn’t want to see this troubled man for a very long time. It seems like even if I could understand Emerson’s ridiculous vocabulary, this speech still would not make sense. Each time I read a paragraph I asked myself, “What the hell just happened?” So I’d re-read it and get even more lost. The small parts of this speech that actually made it into my consciousness still left me a little worried about Emerson’s mental health. Emerson tried to convert all of these Harvard students and whatnot to look at life how he does. That’s not what you should plan to do during a graduation speech unless you don’t want to see that school for a good while.
