Henry David Thoreau—Why I Went to the Woods Let us spend
one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every
nutshell and mosquito's wing that falls on the rails. Let us rise early and
fast, or breakfast, gently and without perturbation; let company come and let
company go, let the bells ring and the children cry—determined to make a day of
it. Why should we knock under and go with the stream? Let us not be upset and
{{U}} {{U}} 21 {{/U}} {{/U}}in that terrible rapid and whirlpool
called a {{U}} {{U}} 22 {{/U}} {{/U}}, situated in the meridian
shallows. Weather this {{U}} {{U}} 23 {{/U}} {{/U}}and you are
safe, for the rest of the way is down {{U}} {{U}} 24 {{/U}}
{{/U}}. With unrelaxed nerves, with morning vigor, sail by it, {{U}} {{U}}
25 {{/U}} {{/U}}another way, tied to the mast like Ulysses. If the
engine {{U}} {{U}} 26 {{/U}} {{/U}}, let it whistle till it is
hoarse for its pains. If the bell {{U}} {{U}} 27 {{/U}} {{/U}},
why should we run? We will consider what kind of {{U}} {{U}} 28
{{/U}} {{/U}}they are like. Let us settle ourselves, and work and {{U}}
{{U}} 29 {{/U}} {{/U}}our feet downward through the mud and slush of
{{U}} {{U}} 30 {{/U}} {{/U}}, and prejudice, and tradition, and
delusion, and appearance, {{U}} {{U}} 31 {{/U}} {{/U}}alluvion
which covers the globe, through Paris and London, through {{U}} {{U}}
32 {{/U}} {{/U}}and philosophy and religion, till we come to a hard
{{U}} {{U}} 33 {{/U}} {{/U}}and rocks in place.
Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see
the {{U}} {{U}} 34 {{/U}} {{/U}}bottom and detect how shallow it
is. Its thin {{U}} {{U}} 35 {{/U}} {{/U}}slides away, but
eternity remains. I would drink {{U}} {{U}} 36 {{/U}} {{/U}},
fish in the sky, whose bottom is pebbly with {{U}} {{U}} 37
{{/U}} {{/U}}. I cannot count one. I know not the first letter of the
{{U}} {{U}} 38 {{/U}} {{/U}}. I have always been regretting that
I was not as {{U}} {{U}} 39 {{/U}} {{/U}}as the day I was born.
The intellect is a cleaver; it discerns and {{U}} {{U}} 40
{{/U}} {{/U}}its way into the secret of things. I do not wish to be any more
busy with my hands than is necessary. My head is hands and feet. I feel all my
best faculties concentrated in it. My instinct tells me that my head is an organ
for burrowing, as some creatures use their snout and forepaws, and with it I
would mine and burrow my way through these hills. I think that the richest vein
is somewhere hereabouts; so by the divining-rod and thin rising vapors, I judge;
and here I will begin to mine.
