Transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson s 1841 essay Circles reflects on the endless circles found in nature, and the fluidity of the universe. He encourages the embracing of new thoughts and ideas: No truth so sublime but it may be trivial to-morrow in the light of new thoughts. People wish to be settled; only as far as they are unsettled is there any hope for them. This short work is part of Applewood s American Roots, series, tactile mementos of American passions by some of America s most famous writers and thinkers."
