What is vulgar, and the essence of all
vulgarity, but the avarice of reward?
The man whose eyes are nailed, not ON
the nature of his act, but on the wages,
whether it be money, or office, or fame,
is almost equally low. He is great whose
eyes are opened to- see that the reward
of actions canrfot be escaped, because
he Is transformed into his action, and

fruit, like every other tree.-Emerson.
