“For the most part we allow only outlying and transient circumstances to make our occasions. They are, in fact, the cause of our distraction. Nearest to all things is that power which fashions their being. Next to us the grandest laws are continually being executed. Next to us is not the workman whom we have hired, with whom we love so well to talk, but the workman whose work we are.”

Here's a literary biography of #Thoreau written in French originally. This book is for you if you like heightened writing that flows from occasional use of present tense "you"...

In reading "Walden," I can't quite get my mind around his view on charity. The best I can surmise is that he urges readers to help others at times without thinking about those actions as benefiting the recipients.
I'm too far separated by time and language to fully grasp his point. #Thoreau

Currently reading "Walden," a classic I've somehow never gotten around to.
Listening to Nightwish's "My Walden" inspired picking it up — not the first time music has steered me towards expanding my literary horizons. #Thoreau #Nightwish
