Thoreau’s account of his solitary and self-sufficient home in the New England woods remains an inspiration to the environmental movement–a call to his fellow men to abandon their striving, materialistic existences of ‘quiet desperation’ for a simple life within their means, finding spiritual truth through awareness of the sheer beauty of their surroundings.
