Excerpt from Thoreau: His Life and Aims, a Study A piteous lot it were to flee from a man, And not rejoice in nature... For the man, Who in this spirit, communes with the forms Of Nature, who, with understanding heart, Doth know and love such objects as excite No morbid passions, no disquietude, No vengeance, and no hatred, needs must feel The joy of that pure principle of love So deeply that, unsatisfied with aught Less pure and exquisite, he cannot choose But seek for objects of a kindred love In fellow-natures and a kindred joy." Wordsworth's Excursion. "I, on my side, require of every writer, first or last, a simple and sincere account of his own life, and not merely what he has heard of other men's lives, some such account as he would send to his kindred from a distant land, for if he has lived sincerely, it must have been in a distant land to me."
