Henry David Thoreau

Summer, Winter, Fire

Henry David Thoreau (1873). “The Maine Woods”, p.38

Give me the old familiar walk, postoffice and all, with this ever new self, with this infinite expectation and faith, which does not know when it is beaten. We'll go nutting once more. We'll pluck the nut of the world, and crack it in the winter evenings. Theaters and all other sightseeing are puppet-shows in comparison. I will take another walk to the Cliff, another row on the river, another skate on the meadow, be out in the first snow, and associate with the winter birds. Here I am at home. In the bare and bleached crust of the earth I recognize my friend.

Henry David Thoreau

Travel, Home, Winter

Henry David Thoreau

Summer, Winter, Today
