my first entry
...Thoreau's Journal: 22-Oct-1837

“What are you doing now?” he asked. “Do you keep a journal?” So I make my first entry to-day.

SOLITUDE
To be alone I find it necessary to escape the present,—I avoid myself. How could I be alone in the Roman emperor’s chamber of mirrors? I seek a garret. The spiders must not be disturbed, nor the floor swept, not the lumber arranged.

one can never avoid himself, he can keep his mind occupied on other things for a while, but in the end he comes back to his self!. michael jameson oldantiqueguy@hotmail.com
