The opening quote is from Ralph Waldo Emerson's poem Nature (fragments on nature). In the booklet for the album, it isn't included on the page that has the lyrics for this song, but it does appear on the very first page itself. The parts that are in between dashes ( - ) are italicized in the booklet, but I'm not sure if that's possible to do here. If it is, please let me know how, or if you think there's a better way to convey it, I'm open to suggestions.
