Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world.” “Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world.” Ralph Waldo Emerson I am wondering what Emerson meant with the word "suffrage". Today it means the right to vote, but that, then, doesn't make much sense in this sentence. Anyone? Last edited by Nicole; 07/20/10 02:16 PM.
