I made my pilgrimage to Walden a few years ago, having long had an intellectual crush on Thoreau. (I moved to New England due to that crush actually). Walden is sacred ground, no quetsion.
For me, the most powerful message of Walden is that it's a testament to the power of writing. There are thousands of ponds just like Walden throughout New England. Were it not for one man deciding to write about his, Walden would just be another one of them.
wow, what a beautiful piece of writing.
