The World From a Hilltop
On November 26, 1837 Henry David Thoreau wrote in his journal the following;
“I look around for thoughts when I am overflowing myself. While I live on, thought is still in embryo,—it stirs not within me. Anon it begins to assume shape and comeliness, and I deliver it, and clothe it in its garment of language. But Alas! how often when thoughts choke me do I resort to a spat on the back, or swallow a crust, or do anything but expectorate them!”
This section of Thoreau’s journals is known to me as The World From a Hilltop and since I can relate to his observations this will be the name of this Blog.
I hope my writing while not organized in the whole will at least be cogent in capsule.
