both Tills and Murray mention Thoreau. I love Thoreau as a writer, as a persistent step around these parts, and as a moral voice, ggod damn it. and Walden too, the pond, held captive by Park Service admittedly much needed fences. visit his gravesite and you will see letters and other crap left by fans: Dear Henry, I'm wonderful too!!! Thoreau's attention is palpable, his basis sensible. tell me that aint poetic.
