Walden

Henry David Thoreau · רישיון: Public domain · מקור

• However, only one or two of my guests were ever bold enough to stay and eat a hasty-pudding with me; but when they saw that crisis approaching they beat a hasty retreat rather, as if it would shake the house to its foundations. Nevertheless, it stood through a great many hasty-puddings. ¶426
• Former Inhabitants and Winter Visitors ¶442
• Once more, on the left, where are seen the well and lilac bushes by the wall, in the now open field, lived Nutting and Le Grosse. But to return toward Lincoln. ¶451
• "How blind that cannot see serenity!" ¶465
• There was one other with whom I had "solid seasons," long to be remembered, at his house in the village, and who looked in upon me from time to time; but I had no more for society there. ¶468
• At midnight, when there was a moon, I sometimes met with hounds in my path prowling about the woods, which would skulk out of my way, as if afraid, and stand silent amid the bushes till I had passed. ¶482
• "So high as heaved the tumid hills, so low Down sunk a hollow bottom broad and deep, Capacious bed of waters." ¶495
• As every season seems best to us in its turn, so the coming in of spring is like the creation of Cosmos out of Chaos and the realization of the Golden Age.-- ¶530
• "Eurus ad Auroram Nabathaeaque regna recessit, Persidaque, et radiis juga subdita matutinis." ¶531
