I thought my reading had slowed before. I'm practically at a standstill now.
I finished Walden a while ago (vague I know) and am about a fifth through Backwoods and along the Seashore.
From Walden, I loved Thoreau's discussion of the morning. He said all memorable events transpire in morning time and atmosphere. Poetry and art date from that hour. But then Thoreau says it doesn't matter what the clocks say. "Morning is when I'm awake and there is a dawn in me."
I'm more of morning person than a night owl. I've love to tap more into Thoreau's morning magic.
