They don't.\" Oh Mr. Emerson, whatever do you mean?\" In his ordinary voice, so that she scarcely realized he was quoting poetry, he said: \"'From far, from eve and morning, And yon twelve-winded sky, The stuff of life to knit me Blew hither: here am I.\" George and I both know this, but why does it distress him? We know that we come from the winds, and that we shall return to them; that all of life is perhaps a knot, a tangle, a blemish in the eternal smoothness. But why should this make us unhappy?
