    Extractions: Henry D. Thoreau While several of those who composed this group of transcendental thinkers in the Concord circle became more or less noted either for eccentricity or utterance, the most remarkable among them all, after Emerson, was Henry David Thoreau. A genuine lover of nature a naturalist first of all he was also a philosopher and a poet, too, although a crude one. He was misunderstood by most of those who knew or heard of him while he lived, and these were not many, but by the inner circle of the transcendentalists he was comprehended and beloved. It is characteristic of his career that but two of his books were published in his lifetime while his published writings now number twenty volumes. not here?" He was a friend of John Brown; and declared that "any man more right than his neighbors constitutes a majority of one already." He regarded only what was necessary as desirable. "A man is rich," he said, "in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone." His acquaintance with Emerson began early. He was for a time a member of his household, and during Emerson's visit to England in 1847, Thoreau occupied his house and took charge of affairs during his absence. Concerning Thoreau's qualifications as a naturalist, Emerson has this to say:

    Extractions: Henry spent the majority of his time walking in and around the town of Concord, although he did make a few journeys to other places. Henry spent most of his time walking in the wilderness of Concord. Occasionally he would be found sauntering and conversing with his mentor and friend, Ralph Waldo Emerson or Ellery Channing. Some believe Henry went to live at Walden Pond because he was a hermit or a recluse or because he hated his fellow man, but this is not the case. Henry had a very special and sincere reason to go to Walden Pond; to honor his brother. On January 11, 1842, Henry's brother, John Jr., died of lockjaw. It was his brother's death which prompted Henry to decide to go to Walden Pond. Ralph Waldo Emerson, the great "Sage of Concord," owned land adjacent to Walden Pond and allowed Henry to live at Walden Pond. Henry went to Walden Pond to work on a book, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers which would be a tribute to John Thoreau Jr. Henry stayed at Walden Pond for two years, two months and two days. Henry wanted to live deliberately and so he went and built a simple cabin at Walden Pond. Henry explains in Walden, "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."

    Extractions: Source: Shaping of the Modern World - HDT Top Primary Works A Week on the Concord And Merrimac Rivers This is a beautiful account of Thoreau's boat trip with his brother, John, from August 31 to September 13, 1839. The book is carefully organized with one chapter given to each day of a week - experiences of two weeks condensed in one. It is an excellent celebration of nature. "Resistance to Civil Government" also known as "Civil Disobedience" (1849) For failing to pay poll tax, Thoreau was sent to jail. The famous and influential essay is the result of that gesture. Its message is simple and daring - he advocates "actions through principles." If the demands of a government or a society are contrary to an individual's conscience, it is his/her duty to reject them. Upholding moral law as opposed to social law "divides the individual, separating the diabolical in him from the divine." Inspired by Thoreau's message, Mahatma Gandhi organized a massive resistance of Indians against the British occupation of India. Thoreau's words have also inspired the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., the peace marchers and the numerous conscientious-objectors to the Vietnam war. Walden Considered one of the all-time great books

    Extractions: Great quotes to inspire, empower and motivate you to live the life of your dreams and become the person you've always wanted to be! H e is the best sailor who can steer within fewest points of the wind, and exact a motive power out of the greatest obstacles. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor. W e do not learn by inference and deduction and the application of mathematics to philosophy, but by direct intercourse and sympathy. N one are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm W e feel at first as if some opportunities of kindness and sympathy were lost, but learn afterward that any pure grief is ample recompense for all. That is, if we are faithful; for a spent grief is but sympathy with the soul that disposes events, and is as natural as the resin of Arabian trees. Only nature has a right to grieve perpetually, for she only is innocent. Soon the ice will melt, and the blackbirds sing along the river which he frequented, as pleasantly as ever. The same everlasting serenity will appear in this face of God, and we will not be sorrowful, if he is not. B ooks, not which afford us a cowering enjoyment, but in which each thought is of unusual daring; such as an idle man cannot read, and a timid one would not be entertained by, which even make us dangerous to existing institution such call I good books.

71. THOREAU, HENRY DAVID
    thoreau, henry david. thoreau, henry david (1817—1862), American recluse, naturalistand writer, was born at Concord, Massachusetts, on the 12th of July 1817.

    Extractions: been as fully recognized as his political genus has been. As an orator and writer his style was clear and forcible. His very dogmatism brought him many enemies, but at times, especially when he went in advance of his time, he was a much misunderstood man. These misunderstandings, frequently wilful, extended often beyond the domain of pure politics. Thus, by his enemies, Thorbecke was often held up to scorn as a pure materialist and no friend of the fine arts, because at a sitting of the states-general in 1862 he had said that it is not the duty of the state, nor in the true interest of art itself, for the government to “ protect “ art, since all state-aided art must be artificial, like any forced plant. This was popularly condensed into the aphor.. ism, yet current in Holland, that “ Art is not the business of the government,” and Thorbecke was condemned as the author of it. Again, his adversaries used to call him a dangerous demagogue. As a matter of fact, there was no more ardent royalist than Thorbecke. He believed in constitutional monarchy, as offering the best guarantees both for sovereign and people, and he was bitterly opposed to all forms of state socialism. Long before his death he realized that he had outlived his own principles, and many of his former admirers had commenced to dub him a “rank conservative,” whose political aims and reforms were no longer adequate. But Thorbecke’s life-work will endure, and the Dutch constitution of 1887 practically embodied his principles, as laid down in. the ccnstitution of 1848. The former is the outcome of the latter and could not have been made without it.

    Extractions: American essayist, poet, and practical philosopher, best-known for his autobiographical story of life in the woods, WALDEN (1854). Thoreau became one of the leading personalities in New England Transcendentalism. He wrote tirelessly but earned from his books and journalism little. Thoreau's CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE (1849) influenced Gandhi in his passive resistance campaigns, Martin Luther King, Jr., and at one time the politics of the British Labour Party.

    Extractions: 60 págs. 7,63 € ISBN: 84-88020-10-4 Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862). Ensayista, topógrafo, disidente nato y maestro de la prosa, su auténtico empleo fue, según él se ocupó de recordar, "inspector de ventiscas y diluvios". Su nombre a llegado a nuestros días ligado a dos libros capitales para el pensamiento individualista y antiautoritario: Ensayo sobre la Desobediencia Civil (1849) y Walden Caminar (Walking) fue, sin embargo en vida de Thoreau, su obra más popular. Concebida como conferencia y leída en numerosas ocasiones, sólo se llegó a publicar póstumamente. Es, sobretodo, una exposición de la filosofía del deambular, pero también la defensa de un "pensamiento salvaje" que arroje sobre nuestra conciencia una luz más parecida a la de un relámpago que a la de una vela. Su ironía y el rumbo vagabundo que por momentos toman sus reflexiones, hacen de la lectura de este libro algo tan tonificante como un paseo de buena mañana. Y no hace falta que Thoreau nos recuerde que "el aburrimiento no es sino otro nombre de la domesticación".

    Extractions: Transcendentalism and Thoreau’s Circle Transcendentalism was a philosophic and literary movement that flourished in New England, particularly at Concord (c.1836-1860), as a reaction against eighteenth-century rationalism, the skeptical philosophy of John Locke, and the confining religious orthodoxy of New England Calvinism. This romantic, idealistic, mystical, and individualistic belief was more a cast of thought than a systematic philosophy. It was eclectic in nature and had many sources. Its qualities may be discerned through Jonathan Edwards’ belief in "a Divine and Supernatural Light, immediately imparted to the soul by the spirit of God," and the idealism of Channing, whose Unitarianism was a religious predecessor of this belief in an in-dwelling God and intuitive thought. It was also a manifestation of the general humanitarian trend of nineteenth-century thought. Of course, primary beliefs varied greatly as they were interpreted in the writings of different authors, although the most important literary expression of transcendental thought is considered to lie in Thoreau’s
