Context:

Ralph Waldo Emerson

I am the owner of the sphere,
Of the seven stars and the solar year,
Of Caesar's hand, and Plato's brain,
Of Lord Christ's heart, and Shakespeare's strain.

@oristarA,
I'm straining here, would that be a blood stain to which you refer?

@oristarA,
Here, the definition of strain meant is:



1. The collective descendants of a common ancestor; a race, stock, line, or breed.
