2 Messerli's quotation from Emerson includes the following: “We are shut up in schools and college recitation rooms for ten or fifteen years and come out at last with a belly full of words and do not know a thing. We cannot use our hands, or our legs, or our eyes, or our arms. We do not know an eatable root in the woods. We cannot tell our course by the stars, nor the hour of the day by the sun (p. 347).” Google Scholar
