“So wrote American writer Henry David Thoreau two and a half centuries ago.” Are we talking about Henry David Thoreau (born David Henry Thoreau; July 12, 1817 – May 6, 1862)?

I hear beyond the range of sound,
I see beyond the range of sight,
New earths and skies and seas around,… That’s Thoreau vision for you. It does not surprise me. The Massachusetts landscape creates poetry and poets.Add to that some history and you’d love to be at the staycations – no shudder. Sounds perfect!

I did not know about Thoreau's house. Thanks for the tip. I will definitely be interested in finding out more. Since Thoreau walked up Cape Cod, we tend to claim him as ours, with books like "In the Footsteps of Thoreau," but, of course, he had a whole other life when not out exploring the wild Cape and was more famous for writing about Walden Pond, so much smaller than I expected it to be. .-= Alexandra hopes you will read blog ..The Innkeeper, the Pragmatist & the Return Guest =-.

Nice posting. I find I like posts that reference current events more than those that talk about historical events. (Not that I don’t enjoy history.)

i love thoreau, and always try to keep him in mind as i go about my daily life. i’ve seen the small house at walden pond – and it made such an impact on me, together with his writings.
