Emerson was a trancendentalist. Any of his songs or poems.
Of course, Thoreau, and Whitman were of the same breed, so look up any of those. I like Thoreau's essays best
thanks. do u by chance know any recent songs like in the last 10 years that follow those views?
do u think unwritten by natasha bedingfield represents it well?
