Nature Literature discussion

"As the afternoons grow shorter, and the early evening drives us home to complete our chores, we are reminded of the shortness of life, and become more pensive, at least in this twilight of the year. We are prompted to make haste and finish our work before the night comes...The November twilights just begun! It appeared like a part of a panorama at which I sat spectator, a part of which I was perfectly familiar just coming into view, and I foresaw how it would look and roll along, and prepared to be pleased."

- From Thoreau's Journal; November 1, 1858.

I was reading The Portable Emerson and came across Emerson’s essay about Thoreau. A great piece of writing — I thoroughly enjoyed the details of it.

I'll have to try sourcing that, John. I become increasingly more fascinated by their relationship.
