free and lawless
...Thoreau's Journal: 02-Jan-1859
Essentially your truest poetic sentence is as free and lawless as a lamb’s bleat. The grammarian is often one who can neither cry nor laugh, yet thinks that he can express human emotions. So the posture-masters tell you how you shall walk,—turning your toes out, perhaps, excessively,—but so the beautiful walkers are not made.

we all express our emotions in different ways!, some never cry yet the crying inside can be a living hell.
As an ardent follower of Thoreau for the last forty something years, I'm delighted to have found this site.
Even though you are a day ahead of yourself, who cares. Not I in New Zealand...
A lot of people should've been issued blank diplomas in high school because their lives show they flunked Thoreau 101. ... It's nice to see folks on this site who passed Thoreau.
