Wordle--Self Reliance

Wordle: Self Reliance  "Self Reliance" Wordle

Wordle: Nature--Emerson   "Nature" Wordle

A "wordle" is a program that creates an image based on text that you feed into it.  It creates a word cloud where the words that are used most frequently (after filtering out commonly used words) are made larger and more prominent.

If this is all we saw from "Self-Reliance," what would we conclude about Emerson and his message? 

Here's a link to create your own wordles
