Emerson's Sense of Self Reliance

We do not need them to tell us what is good and what isn't. The picture waits for my verdict. We denote this primary wisdom as intuition, whilst all later teachings are tuitions. I see a similar imploration here in self reliance, as i see in servantezs don quixote de la mancha - become your own knight. Though here emerson is instructing us to become our own king. Become your own queen. Choose your own quest, designate meaning and construct a life of virtue for yourself. Whence then, this worship of the past? Emerson asks the centuries a conspirators against the sanity and authority of the soul. Time and space are but physiological colours
