Henry
David Thoreau
This version of
"Walking" is
extracted from a collection of Thoreau’s essays entitled Excursions,
Houghton
and Mifflin Company, the Riverside Press, Cambridge,
Boston and New York,
1909. pp 251 to 304. It is Vol. 9 in
The Writings of Henry David Thoreau, Riverside Edition.
I have
preserved all
the idiomatic punctuation, etc., —.including the lovely commas and long em dashes like this, — and the page numbers are
noted. Typing (er,
keyboarding) is a tiresome thing. I’ve been as meticulous as possible,
but
mistakes will be made. Corrections will be gracefully accepted.
Below, I have written a brief
introduction and you’ll see some footnotes in the text. Both can safely
be
ignored if you want to simply revel in the words of Thoreau. The
footnotes are like having
to have all the history of the area before actually taking a walk.
However,
some may be curious to know the meaning of a Latin phrase, or who a
forgotten
individual was.
