This weeks readings in one of my classes included speeches by Ralph Waldo Emerson and Theodore Parker. The subject matter was interesting, but what struck me most strongly was the incredible skill that these men had with the English language. I found myself being constantly amazed at the power of their writing and I could hear in my mind the overwheleming power that their speeches must have had.
As someone who wants to become a minister, I'm a bit intimidated by the people who I am following in the profession.
