  • Visitors2
      My "best" room, however, my withdrawing room, always ready for company, on whose carpet the sun rarely fell, was the pine wood behind my house. Thither in summer days, when distinguished guests cam...
  • Visitors
      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-blooded man that comes in my way. I am naturally no hermit, but mig...
  • Visitors6
      Many a traveller came out of his way to see me and the inside of my house, and, as an excuse for calling, asked for a glass of water. I told them that I drank at the pond, and pointed thither, offe...
  • Visitors5
      I heard that a distinguished wise man and reformer asked him if he did not want the world to be changed; but he answered with a chuckle of surprise in his Canadian accent, not knowing that the q...

      He was a skilful chopper, and indulged in some flourishes and ornaments in his art. He cut his trees level and close to the ground, that the sprouts which came up afterward might be more vigoro...

      As for men, they will hardly fail one anywhere. I had more visitors while I lived in the woods than at any other period in my life; I mean that I had some. I met several there under more favor...
  • Of Fortune
      It cannot be denied, but outward accidents conduce much to fortune; favor, opportunity, death of others, occasion fitting virtue. But chiefly, the mould of a man's fortune is in his own hands. Faber...
  • 瓦尔登湖:种豆
      Meanwhile my beans, the length of whose rows, added together,was seven miles already planted, were impatient to be hoed, for the earliest had grown considerably before the latest were in the ground...
  • 瓦尔登湖:种豆3
      As I drew a still fresher soil about the rows with my hoe, I disturbed the ashes of unchronicled nations who in primeval years lived under these heavens, and their small implements of war and hu...
  • 瓦尔登湖:种豆2
      Before yet any woodchuck or squirrel had run across the road, or the sun had got above the shrub oaks, while all the dew was on,though the farmers warned me against it ―― I would advise you to...
  • 瓦尔登湖:村子
      After hoeing, or perhaps reading and writing, in the forenoon, I usually bathed again in the pond, swimming across one of its coves for a stint, and washed the dust of labor from my person, or smoot...
  • 瓦尔登湖:种豆6
      so that we should suspect that we might be conversing with an angel. Bread may not always nourish us; but it always does us good, it even takes stiffness out of our joints, and makes us supple an...

      But to be more particular, for it is complained that Mr. Coleman has reported chiefly the expensive experiments of gentlemen farmers,my outgoes were,――For a hoe …… $ 0.54 Plowing, harrowing, an...
  • 瓦尔登湖:种豆4
      When there were several bands of musicians, it sounded as if all the village was a vast bellows and all the buildings expanded and collapsed alternately with a din. But sometimes it was a real...
  • 瓦尔登湖:The Ponds
      Sometimes, having had a surfeit of human society and gossip, and worn out all my village friends, I rambled still farther westward than I habitually dwell, into yet more unfrequented parts of the...
  • 瓦尔登湖:村子2
      One afternoon, near the end of the first summer, when I went to the village to get a shoe from the cobbler's, I was seized and put into jail, because, as I have elsewhere related, I did not pay a ta...
  • 瓦尔登湖:The Ponds5
      Some have been puzzled to tell how the shore became so regularly paved. My townsmen have all heard the tradition ―― the oldest people tell me that they heard it in their youth ―― that anc...
  • 瓦尔登湖:The Ponds4
      Yet perchance the first who came to this well have left some trace of their footsteps. I have been surprised to detect encircling the pond, even where a thick wood has just been cut down on th...
  • 瓦尔登湖:The Ponds3
      The water is so transparent that the bottom can easily be discerned at the depth of twenty-five or thirty feet. Paddling over it, you may see, many feet beneath the surface, the schools of perch...
  • 瓦尔登湖:The Ponds2
      Sometimes, after staying in a village parlor till the family had all retired, I have returned to the woods, and, partly with a view to the next day's dinner, spent the hours of midnight fishing fro...
  • 瓦尔登湖:The Ponds7
      In such a day, in September or October, Walden is a perfect forest mirror, set round with stones as precious to my eye as if fewer or rarer. Nothing so fair, so pure, and at the same time so large...
  • 瓦尔登湖:The Ponds6
      You may see from a boat, in calm weather, near the sandy eastern shore, where the water is eight or ten feet deep, and also in some other parts of the pond, some circular heaps half a dozen feet in...
  • 瓦尔登湖:The Ponds9
      Nevertheless, of all the characters I have known, perhaps Walden wears best, and best preserves its purity. Many men have been likened to it, but few deserve that honor. Though the woodchoppers...
  • 瓦尔登湖:The Ponds8
      An old man who used to frequent this pond nearly sixty years ago, when it was dark with surrounding forests, tells me that in those days he sometimes saw it all alive with ducks and other water-...

      Flint's Pond! Such is the poverty of our nomenclature. What right had the unclean and stupid farmer, whose farm abutted on this sky water, whose shores he has ruthlessly laid bare, to give his n...
