Background
A description of the experience
Ralph Waldo Emerson - Experience
Marriage is impossible, because of the inequality between every subject and every object. The subject is the receiver of godhead, all at every comparison must feel his being enhanced by that cryptic might. Though not in energy, yet by presence, this magazine of substance cannot be otherwise than felt, nor any force of intellect attributes to the object the proper deity which sleeps or wakes for ever in any subject. Never can love make consciousness and ascription equal in force. There will be the same gulf between every me and thee as between the original and the picture. The universe is the bride of the soul.
