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"...

Nur der #Tag bricht an, für den wir #wach sind.

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

preordered this book on Thoreau’s journal illustrations which looks interesting!
