MLA Block Quote � Many people are enthralled by the works of Emerson and easily � find themselves wrapped up in the rhetoric of this poet: � � � � I spent weeks in the library reading Emerson’s journals, reading newspaper accounts from Rockford and Peoria, Illinois, where he had first delivered “Eloquence” as a speech. Emerson stood at the podium, the wind blowing his papers hither and yon, calmly picking them up, and proceeding to read page 8, followed by page 3, followed by page 6, followed by page 2. No one seemed to know the difference. Emerson’s Midwestern audience was overwhelmed by this strange man from Concord, Massachusetts, this eloquent stranger whose expression was the sentence. (Sommers, 569)
