From Wikipedia

Ralph Waldo Emerson (May 25, 1803 – April 27, 1882)^[5] was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and he disseminated his thoughts through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States.

We look forward to seeing you there.
