Friday Soother: Thoreau’s chair

 

"A Foggy View" by Viqi French @ flickr.com

 

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

~Henry David Thoreau, 1854~

 What is this life, if full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?
 
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows:
 
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:
 
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night:
 
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
 
William Henry Davies
