My main insight into the transcendental movement was through the writings of Louisa May Allcott. Faulkner still remains a mystery to me. Perhaps I should reread some of his books. Aren't all artist types..ie: writers, freaks?

I'm all in favour of a freak flag. Like a Hobbit mark. That way we know for sure.

I would disagree with a key tenet of transcendentalism (the innate goodness of humanity) but admire the movement's desire to live more simply.

Yes, all writers probably are freaks, at least in the sense in which I'm speaking. :)
