22. Henry David Thoreau (1817-62). Notes On thoreau. Back To The Classical Essayists henry david thoreau. ( 181762) thoreau was born of French and Scottish stock at Concord, Massachusetts http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Biographies/Literary/Thoreau.htm

[Back To The Classical Essayists] Henry David Thoreau Thoreau was born of French and Scottish stock at Concord, Massachusetts. He grew up in a conservative environment of genteel poverty. He was educated at Harvard, and started out as a teacher; but, it not suiting him, Thoreau turned from it to the family business of making lead pencils and serving as a general handy man for the community. Believing that his tax money should not be used promoting programs that he had no belief in, in 1843, Thoreau was arrested for not paying his poll tax; and, for this act of civil disobedience, he spent a night in jail (he was quite prepared to spend a lot more time for his principles, but he was chagrined to find out that one of his aunts had paid his tax bill for him). If the government (Massachusetts had just voted to return runaway slaves), "requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law ... What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn." In 1845 he built a cabin at Walden Pond; he wrote of his experiences there, in his book, Walden. Like his neighbour, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thoreau was a Transcendentalist, one who believes in the "divine sufficiency of the individual." Emerson said of his friend;

Humorous Quotes attributed to Henry David Thoreau 1817-1862, American Essayist, Poet, Naturalist Any fool can make a rule, and every fool will mind it. As for the pyramids, there is nothing to wonder at in them so much as the fact that so many men could be found degraded enough to spend their lives constructing a tomb for some ambitious booby, whom it would have been wiser and manlier to have drowned in the Nile, and then given his body to the dogs. City life is millions of people being lonesome together. I do not know how to distinguish between our waking life and a dream. Are we not always living the life that we imagine we are? ... What men call social virtues, good fellowship, is commonly but the virtue of pigs in a litter, which lie close together to keep each other warm.

Inspiration Prayer Great God, I ask for no meaner pelf Than that I may not disappoint myself, That in my action I may soar as high As I can now discern with this clear eye. And next in value, which thy kindness lends, That I may greatly disappoint my friends, Howe'er they think or hope that it may be, They may not dream how thou'st distinguished me. That my weak hand may equal my firm faith And my life practice what my tongue saith That my low conduct may not show Nor my relenting lines That I thy purpose did not know Or overrated thy designs. The Moon Time wears her not; she doth his chariot guide; Mortality below her orb is placed. Raleigh The full-orbed moon with unchanged ray Mounts up the eastern sky

26. Civil Disobedience Civil Disobedience. by henry david thoreau. I heartily accept the motto, That government is best which governs least ; and I should http://www.cs.indiana.edu/statecraft/civ.dis.html

Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau But, to speak practically and as a citizen, unlike those who call themselves no-government men, I ask for, not at one 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 out 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 in 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.

27. Blick 1 Blick 1. Essay von Rudolf Stirn. http://www.rudolf-stirn.de/blick1.htm

Blick 1 (Überlegungen zu: Henry David Thoreau, Walden oder Leben in den Wäldern. Aus dem Amerikanischen von Emma Emmerich und Tatjana Fischer. Vorwort von Walter E. Richartz. ISBN 3-257-20019-6. 341 Seiten. Diogenes Taschenbuch 20019 Im Kapitel "Lektüre" (S. 106-116) äußert Thoreau Gedanken, die von brisanter Aktualität scheinen. Was er über die Lektüre der Klassiker zu sagen hat, sollten sich die Kultusverantwortlichen, die dabei sind, den Unterricht der klassischen Sprachen aus den Schulen zu bugsieren, zu Gemüte führen. Was unter dem Stichwort 'Anpassung an die globale Wissensgesellschaft' ins Werk gesetzt wird, könnte ein nicht revidierbarer Schritt in eine geistige Betonwüste sein, in der die lebendigen Quellen verschüttet sind oder nur noch von wenigen Kundigen aufgespürt werden können. Wie sich Thoreau die Realisierung des Programms "Bildung für alle" gedacht hat, macht er gleich zu Beginn deutlich: Bei etwas mehr Überlegung in der Wahl ihrer Beschäftigung würden wohl alle Menschen vor allem Studierende und Forscher, denn gewiß ist Natur und Schicksal des Menschen allen gleich interessant. In der Anhäufung von Eigentum für uns und unsere Nachkommen, in der Gründung einer Familie oder eines Staates, selbst in dem Erwerben von Ruhm sind wir sterblich; aber im Forschen nach Wahrheit sind wir unsterblich. Hier brauchen wir keine Wechselfälle des Schicksals, kein Unglück zu fürchten. Sicher keine Aussage, für die sich Versicherungsgesellschaften erwärmen könnten.

28. Thoreau's Civil Disobedience Civil Disobedience. by henry david thoreau 1849. No other person has been more eloquent and passionate in getting this idea across than henry david thoreau. http://eserver.org/thoreau/civil.html

Civil Disobedience by Henry David Thoreau - 1849 Return to Thoreau Reader Desobediencia Civil While Walden can be applied to almost anyone's life, "Civil Disobedience" is like a venerated architectural landmark: it is preserved and admired, and sometimes visited, but for most of us there are not many occasions when it can actually be used . Still, although it is seldom mentioned without references to Gandhi and King, "Civil Disobedience" has more history than many suspect. In the 1940's it was read by the Danish resistance, in the 1950's it was cherished by people who opposed McCarthyism, in the 1960's it was influential in the struggle against South African apartheid, and in the 1970's it was discovered by a new generation of anti-war activists. The lesson learned from all this experience is that Thoreau's ideas really do work, just as he imagined they would. "Civil Disobedience" in three parts: One Two Three (Originally published as "Resistance to Civil Government") "I became convinced that noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with good. No other person has been more eloquent and passionate in getting this idea across than Henry David Thoreau. As a result of his writings and personal witness, we are the heirs of a legacy of creative protest." - Martin Luther King, Jr, from his Autobiography, Chapter 2

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) Contributing Editor: Wendell P. Glick Classroom Issues and Strategies In my experience, an understanding of Thoreau rarely follows the initial exposure to his writings. The appreciation of the profundity and subtlety of his thought comes only after serious study, and only a few of the most committed students are willing to expend the necessary effort. Many, upon first reading him, will conclude: that he was a churlish, negative, antisocial malcontent; or that he advocated that all of us should reject society and go live in the woods; or that each person has complete license to do as he/she pleases, without consideration for the rights of others; or that he is unconscionably doctrinaire. His difficult, allusive prose, moreover, requires too much effort. All such judgments are at best simplistic and at worst, wrong. If an instructor is to succeed with Thoreau, strategies to meet these responses will need to be devised. The best, in my opinion, is to spend the time explicating to students key sentences and paragraphs in class and responding to questions. Above all, students must be given a knowledge of the premises of Romanticism that constitute Thoreau's world view. Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues

Walking by Henry David Thoreau At the EcoTopia web site This essay was presented as a lecture by Thoreau in his later years but only published after his death. It's best known quote, "In wildness is the preservation of the world," has become one of the rallying cries of the environmental movement. But Thoreau means much more by the phrase than most of his modern admirers realize. "Wildness" is Nature itself, and Man is seen as an aspect or manifestation of Nature. The rules that apply to one apply to the other. This is, in fact, one of the three seminal works of the environmental movement, the other two being Emerson's Nature and George Perkins Marsh's Man and nature; or, Physical geography as modified by human action Many thanks to Q Meyers who scanned, proofed and formatted this text. I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil to 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

Slavery in Massachusetts by Henry David Thoreau Delivered at an Anti-Slavery Celebration, at Framingham, Massachusetts, on July 4, 1854, after the conviction in Boston of fugitive slave Anthony Burns Return to Thoreau Reader "It was the North, not the South, that he attacked ... he spoke to a Massachusetts that had denied to its citizens the legal right to preserve their own moral integrity ..." - Henry Seidel Canby, Thoreau More information: Links to other "Slavery in Massachusetts" sites I L ATELY A TTENDED They who have been bred in the school of politics fail now and always to face the facts. Their measures are half measures and makeshifts merely. They put off the day of settlement indefinitely, and meanwhile the debt accumulates. Though the Fugitive Slave Law had not been the subject of discussion on that occasion, it was at length faintly resolved by my townsmen, at an adjourned meeting, as I learn, that the compromise compact of 1820 having been repudiated by one of the parties, "Therefore,... the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 must be repealed." But this is not the reason why an iniquitous law should be repealed. The fact which the politician faces is merely that there is less honor among thieves than was supposed, and not the fact that they are thieves. As I had no opportunity to express my thoughts at that meeting, will you allow me to do so here?
