Note 202 — Chapter II
Reading edition
Emerson, pp. 154, 156, 196. Cherub. Wand., i. 10, 8, 204.—Angelus has various modes of expressing the way in which God realizes his nature in the salvation of men.
‘I bear God’s image. Would he see himself?
He only can in me, or such as I.
‘Meekness is velvet whereon God takes rest:
Art meek, O man?—God owes to thee his pillow.
‘I see in God both God and man,
He man and God in me;
I quench his thirst, and he, in turn,
Helps my necessity.’—(i. 105, 214, 224.)
