Thoreau's Diary

Rob Father Emerson: Thoreau lived deliberately on the land his buddy owned. He says he's been criticized for not doing his own laundry or spending time with his family. But to him, this makes it all the more splendid that he was able to find this whole natural world and this universe right in his damn backyard. "Walden is very like... it's a different kind of language," writes Rob Father Emerson.
