Some fine writing. Inspiration

When in need of inspiration, of lofty headspace, perhaps look up one of these essays. (An open list, as I come across. Any few words from these writers provide tangents and inspiration).

• Self Reliance, Emerson (Here)
• The American Scholar, Emerson (Here), and generally his essays on other people too... the biographical sketches. His writing is generally in the lofty spaces.
• Solitude and Leadership, American Scholar (Here)
• We need silence to find out what we think - Shirley Hazzard. Here (first essay)
