Henry Davis Thoreau The Doer

Why is Thoreau different from others? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. --- Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau, The Great 1. Dismissed as an idler, and a drifter and a minor writer and a wasted Harvard graduate, and almost forgotten in his day, and yet in our day, he is one of few writers who deserve the appellation “ great ”. 2. He put into practice of principles of plain living and high thinking. 3. His journal of nearly 7000 pages transcribed his daily thoughts, observations, readings and encounters with nature and men.
