Philosopher, naturalist, transcendentalist, writer.
Henry David Thoreau
Thoreau was a transcendentalist, who held views very much akin to pantheism. As Thoreau scholar, Alan Hodder, comments, "This divine reality [of Thoreau] is neither he nor she, above nor beyond, past nor future, but is now timelessly here." Hodder concludes that Thoreau advanced "an ecstatic religion of nature." [1] In Thoreau's own words, he advises us "to be always on the alert to find God in nature."

Thoreau uses the words coin and crust as parts of language in his work "Walden". He uses the term "coiner" to refer to those who create new words, and "crusty" to describe old, established words that have taken on new meanings. Thoreau highlights the evolution and adaptability of language through these terms.

Verbs do not describe things- those are adjectives. Verbs are action words.

Upon finding missionary and explorer David Livingstone, Henry Morton Stanley allegedly asked, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"
" Dr. Livingston, I presume."

Thoreau uses words like "resilience," "courage," and "freedom" as symbols of hope and energy in his works. These words embody the spirit of perseverance, boldness, and the pursuit of personal liberation, reflecting Thoreau's belief in the power of the individual to overcome adversity and embrace self-reliance.
Never buy an abridged book if you can avoid it. Abridgement generally removes the best parts, the most important parts of a work, which are to be found in the words the author uses, not the "story" the author is telling.
