Daily Henry David Thoreau

"As Laura Dassow Walls writes in her foreword, "Thoreau's notion of living in season sets the keynote for this collection. These quotes invite us to pay full attention to each moment as it passes, with all our senses, taste and touch and smell as well as sight and hearing-to attend to the phenomenology of the great cycles of growth, decay and renewal. This slender volume thus embodies, in small compass, Thoreau's own ambition to write "a book of the seasons, each page of which should be written in its own season and out-of-doors." The book provides daily glimpses into the insight, quirkiness and brilliance of Thoreau"-- Provided by publisher
