Background
A description of the experience
Ralph Waldo Emerson – History
A lady, with whom I was riding in the forest, said to me, that the woods always seemed to her to wait, as if the genie who inhabit them suspended their deeds until the wayfarer has passed onward. This is precisely the thought which poetry has celebrated in the dance of the fairies, which breaks off on the approach of human feet.
