Conclusion

To the sick the doctors wisely recommend a change of air and

scenery. Thank Heaven, here is not all the world. The buckeye does

not grow in New England, and the mockingbird is rarely heard here.

The wild goose is more of a cosmopolite than we; he breaks his fast

in Canada, takes a luncheon in the Ohio, and plumes himself for the

night in a southern bayou. Even the bison, to some extent, keeps

pace with the seasons cropping the pastures of the Colorado only

till a greener and sweeter grass awaits him by the Yellowstone. Yet

we think that if rail fences are pulled down, and stone walls piled

up on our farms, bounds are henceforth set to our lives and our

fates decided. If you are chosen town clerk, forsooth, you cannot

go to Tierra del Fuego this summer: but you may go to the land of

infernal fire nevertheless. The universe is wider than our views of

it.

作品简介:

Walden (also known as Life in the Woods) by Henry David Thoreau is one of the best-known non-fiction books written by an American. Published in 1854, it details Thoreau's life for two years and two months in second-growth forest around the shores of Walden Pond, not far from his friends and family in Concord, Massachusetts. Walden was written so that the stay appears to be a year, with expressed seasonal divisions. Thoreau called it an experiment in simple living.

Walden is neither a novel nor a true autobiography, but a social critique of the Western World, with each chapter heralding some aspect of humanity that needed to be either renounced or praised.
