The true race of prophets (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

   Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of prophets.  He saw with open eye the mystery of the soul.  Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it and had his being there.  Alone in all history, he estimated the greatness of man.

--Ralph Waldo Emerson,
"Address to the Harvard 
Divinity School, 1838"
