Extractions: Henry D. Thoreau While several of those who composed this group of transcendental thinkers in the Concord circle became more or less noted either for eccentricity or utterance, the most remarkable among them all, after Emerson, was Henry David Thoreau. A genuine lover of nature a naturalist first of all he was also a philosopher and a poet, too, although a crude one. He was misunderstood by most of those who knew or heard of him while he lived, and these were not many, but by the inner circle of the transcendentalists he was comprehended and beloved. It is characteristic of his career that but two of his books were published in his lifetime while his published writings now number twenty volumes. not here?" He was a friend of John Brown; and declared that "any man more right than his neighbors constitutes a majority of one already." He regarded only what was necessary as desirable. "A man is rich," he said, "in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone." His acquaintance with Emerson began early. He was for a time a member of his household, and during Emerson's visit to England in 1847, Thoreau occupied his house and took charge of affairs during his absence. Concerning Thoreau's qualifications as a naturalist, Emerson has this to say:

Extractions: Just then I heard crows crying overhead. I looked up and saw two flying toward the dawn. They were dark and graceful against the gray white morning. And I thought that in some way we all come to Walden not just to see it, and feel it and breath in the air, but we come to say something, to speak to Thoreau. To say that we understand, and we sympathize.

Extractions: Source: Shaping of the Modern World - HDT Top Primary Works A Week on the Concord And Merrimac Rivers This is a beautiful account of Thoreau's boat trip with his brother, John, from August 31 to September 13, 1839. The book is carefully organized with one chapter given to each day of a week - experiences of two weeks condensed in one. It is an excellent celebration of nature. "Resistance to Civil Government" also known as "Civil Disobedience" (1849) For failing to pay poll tax, Thoreau was sent to jail. The famous and influential essay is the result of that gesture. Its message is simple and daring - he advocates "actions through principles." If the demands of a government or a society are contrary to an individual's conscience, it is his/her duty to reject them. Upholding moral law as opposed to social law "divides the individual, separating the diabolical in him from the divine." Inspired by Thoreau's message, Mahatma Gandhi organized a massive resistance of Indians against the British occupation of India. Thoreau's words have also inspired the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., the peace marchers and the numerous conscientious-objectors to the Vietnam war. Walden Considered one of the all-time great books

Extractions: Thoreau and the Hunt House by Bob Graham Two decades before Heinrich Schliemann, armed with a fortune in California gold, and a pocket edition of Homer in his breast pocket, went off to dig up Priam's treasure and become the "father of modern archeology," an American original , Henry David Thoreau, carrying his surveyor's instruments, and botanical specimens in his hat, was making a detailed observational inquiry into seventeenth century construction techniques as evidenced in the remains of the earliest domestic structures in the township of Concord, Massachusetts. Schliemann traveled the world; Thoreau had "traveled a good deal in Concord". Thoreau (1817-1861) was a man of many hats. In 1847, the year of the tenth anniversary of his graduation from Harvard University, he received a letter from the secretary of his class asking the routine questions about his life since graduation for the class book. When he got around to responding, some seven months later, he claimed as his trades "Schoolmaster, a Private Tutor, a Surveyor, a Gardener, a Farmer, a Painter, I mean a House Painter, a Carpenter, a Mason, a Day Laborer, a Pencil-Maker, a Glass-paper Maker, a Writer, and sometimes a Poetaster." To these, in WALDEN , he added "self-appointed inspector of snow storms and rain storms," "surveyor of forest paths," and "[looking] after the wild stock of the town ." In regard to the latter, though he made important contributions as a naturalist, his observations on nature most often

http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/Literature/Thoreau/CivilDisobedience.html

Extractions: Henry David Thoreau Civil Disobedience But, to speak practically and as a citizen, unlike those who call themselves no-government men, I ask for, not at once no government, but at once a better government. Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it. "Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note, As his corse to the rampart we hurried; Not a soldier discharged his farewell shot O'er the grave where our hero was buried." "I am too high born to be propertied, To be a second at control, Or useful serving-man and instrument To any sovereign state throughout the world." He who gives himself entirely to his fellow men appears to them useless and selfish; but he who gives himself partially to them is pronounced a benefactor and philanthropist. How does it become a man to behave toward the American government today? I answer, that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it. I cannot for an instant recognize that political organization as my government which is the slave's government also.

Walking - Henry David Thoreau
Walking, by henry david thoreau, reformatted for the web (HTML format).
http://www.transcendentalists.com/walking.htm

Extractions: Famous Unitarian Universalists Transcendentalists Henry David Thoreau ... Works Walking by Henry David Thoreau I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civilto regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that. It is true, we are but faint-hearted crusaders, even the walkers, nowadays, who undertake no persevering, never-ending enterprises. Our expeditions are but tours, and come round again at evening to the old hearth-side from which we set out. Half the walk is but retracing our steps. We should go forth on the shortest walk, perchance, in the spirit of undying adventure, never to return prepared to send back our embalmed hearts only as relics to our desolate kingdoms. If you are ready to leave father and mother, and brother and sister, and wife and child and friends, and never see them againif you have paid your debts, and made your will, and settled all your affairs, and are a free manthen you are ready for a walk.
Thoreau (Henry David)
http://www.proverbes-citations.com/thoreau.htm

Extractions: Thoreau, Henry David (1817-1862), écrivain américain, pacifiste et panthéiste, auteur d'un texte célèbre, la Désobéissance civile The Dial (1840-1844) qui, dans son numéro initial, publia le premier poème de Thoreau. Beaucoup d'autres poèmes y furent publiés par la suite, ainsi qu'un essai consacré à l'histoire naturelle du Massachusetts. Parmi les nombreux ouvrages de Thoreau, seuls Une semaine sur les fleuves Concord et Merrimac (1849) et Walden ou la Vie dans les bois (1854) parurent de son vivant, sans grand succès. Une semaine sur les fleuves Concord et Merrimac est le récit d'un voyage en bateau qu'il fit en août 1839 ; cette évocation nostalgique du mode de vie des Indiens, conforme aux lois de la nature, est surtout prétexte à diverses réflexions métaphysiques sur l'amitié, la foi et à des études sur la vie naturelle. Avec Walden, son ouvrage le plus célèbre, Thoreau nous révèle, de façon franche et directe, les raisons qui justifièrent son choix d'une vie contemplative, mais il y fait aussi un compte rendu vivant et souvent pittoresque des événements de son existence au bord de ce petit lac. C'est en étudiant son journal, ses manuscrits et sa correspondance que ses amis purent éditer d'autres livres après sa mort (son journal intime et ses essais ont d'ailleurs une valeur littéraire certaine). Thoreau clarifia ses positions politiques et idéologiques dans la Désobéissance civile (1849), sans doute son essai le plus célèbre, où il prône la résistance passive en guise de protestation. Cette méthode fut adoptée plus tard par Gandhi en Inde pour lutter contre les Britanniques ainsi que par les Noirs américains pour manifester contre la ségrégation raciale.

Extractions: E Simpatía en su primer número, en el año 1840 y siguió publicando otros poemas -entre los cuales cabe mencionar A la concella del este y Un paseo en invierno , así como el ensayo Historia natural de Massachusetts - hasta que dejó de editarse en 1844. Sólo dos de los numerosos volúmenes que ocupan sus obras completas fueron publicados en vida del autor: Una semana en los ríos Concord y Merrimack (1849) y Walden, o la vida en los bosques (1854). Los materiales que componen el resto de los volúmenes fueron publicados póstumamente por los amigos del escritor, basándose en sus diarios, manuscritos y cartas. Una semana en los ríos Concord y Merrimack es la descripción de un viaje en barca que Thoreau llevó a cabo en agosto de 1839; se trata de una combinación de estudio de la naturaleza y especulación metafísica, y transmite claramente la comprometida personalidad de su creador. Walden , quizá su obra más conocida, expresa de un modo más concluyente las buenas razones que existen para adoptar una vida contemplativa, y contiene una nítida descripción de los principales detalles de su experiencia. Sus diarios y ensayos, de un gran valor literario, reflejan un talento especial a la hora de conseguir un estilo fresco y cuidado. Thoreau eligió ir a la cárcel, aunque sólo por una noche, en lugar de pagar los impuestos a un gobierno que admitía la esclavitud y estaba envuelto en una guerra con México. Su postura en este aspecto quedó mucho más clara en su ensayo más célebre, Desobediencia civil

Extractions: HENRY DAVID THOREAU Writer / Peacenik A former schoolteacher, Thoreau spent two years in the 1840s living in a hut beside Walden Pond in Massachusetts, where he studied nature and wrote peaceful essays and poems. His journal of these years became his most famous work: Walden, or a Life in the Woods (published 1854). Thoreau also wrote Civil Disobedience (1849), advocating non-violent resistance to unethical governments; the same notion was later advocated by Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. Always a hit with college readers, Thoreau became a pop icon for anti-war and pro-environment groups late in the 20th century.
