Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sketches of American Authors, Vol. 2 "He took the color of his vest From rabbits coat or grouses breast; For as the wood-kinds lurk and hide, So walks the woodman unespied." - Emerson. Of all the famous literary names that are associated with Concord, the name of Henry David Thoreau will ever stand prominent, representing a truly American genius and a character unique beyond any of his many notable contemporaries. His mission in life seemed to be to solve its great problems by retirement and communion with Nature. He could compress the universe into a patch of ground, and that even planted to unpoetical beans. He was an apostle to civilization, and yet the screech of the steam engine, as it whirled through the woods surrounding his Walden retreat, grated harshly on his sylvan thoughts.
