AUTUMN: FROM THE JOURNAL
OF HENRY D. THOREAU

EDITED BY H. G. O. BLAKE

"This world is no blot for us
Nor blank; it means intensely and means good;
To find its meaning is my meat and drink."

"In the last stage of civilization, poetry, religion and philosophy will be
one, and there are glimpses of this truth in the first." —Thoreau, December 17, 1837.
