Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote of Shakespeare: “He is inconceivably wise. With this wisdom of life is the equal endowment of imaginative and of lyric power. An omnipresent humanity coordinates all his faculties. He is strong, as nature is strong.” In three lecture-discussion sessions we will explore the thoughts and admonitions left for us by these two authors. We will evaluate which of their practical ideas are useful and which are outdated in our own life experience.
