「はじめてのソロー森に息づくメッセージ」第３回
When I wrote the following pages, or rather the bulk of them,
I lived alone, in the woods, a mile from any neighbor,
in a house which I had built myself, on the shore of Walden Pond,
in Concord, Massachusetts, and earned my living by the labor of
my hand only. I lived there two years and two months. At present
I am a sojourner in civilized life again.
(from Walden, Economy)
I think that I love society as much as most, and am ready enough
to fasten myself like a bloodsucker for the time to any full-blood
man that comes in my way. I am naturally no hermit, but might possibly
sit out the sturdiest frequenter of the bar-room, if my business called
me thither.
I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship,
three for society.
(from Walden, visitors)
Most of men, even in this comparatively free country, through
mere ignorance and mistake, are so occupied with the factitious
cares and superfluosusly coarse labors of life that its finer
fruits cannot be plucked by them.
(from Walden, economy)
The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called
resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city
you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself
with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconcscious
despair is concealed even under what are called the games and
amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes
after work. But it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do
desperate things.
(from Walden, economy)
Of a life of luxury the fruit is luxury, whether in agriculture, or
commerce, or literature, or art. There are nowadays professors of
philosophy, but not philosophers. ...
The philosopher is in advance of his age even in the outward form of
his life. He is not fed, sheltered, clothed, warmed, like his contemporaties.
How can a man be a philosopher and not maintain his vital heat by
better methods than other man?
(from Walden, economy)

American Nature Writing
The genre of American nature writing has become a rich and robust medium for literary
expression of all kinds. Since Thoreau first began keeping track of the materials and
supplies needed to create his cabin on the edge of Walden Pond, numerous American authors
have been drawn to the nonhuman world as a subject for description, analysis, and reflection.
British and other European writers had often discussed the natural world as part of work
in other genres: natural history, the novel, short fiction, and poetry; but, it was left to
American authors to develop an entire genre that linked the personal essay to autobiography
and to experience of the natural world.
