Lines by Henry David Thoreau
Henry David Thoreau
American essayist and naturalist · 1817–1862
Henry David Thoreau lived for two years in a cabin he built by Walden Pond. Walden, the book about that time, asks how little a person needs in order to live well.
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life.
