[Where do we find ourselves?]

comment example

all feedback could be here.

[Sleep lingers all our lifetime about our eyes,]

How do we see/perceive our experience clearly? Do we ever have clear perception of our reality? Emerson deals with this question often and in various ways.

[Well, souls never touch their objects. ]
