Write your comment about The Bell poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Mary G. Lenz: As I grow older I grow more fond of everything that Ralph Waldo Emerson has written. His words are for life, they bring comfort and joy to others. May his works lives on for eternity, may they never be seen as politically incorrect.
