Most men are easily transplanted from here there, for they have so little root—no tap root,—or their roots penetrate so little way, that you can thrust a shovel quite under them and take them up, roots and all.
roots are only where our forefathers are from, we also use the expression put down roots here to start a family and they will have future roots, it is good not to have roots like a tree that we may explore and travel, it is a gift!. michael jameson oldantiqueguy@hotmail.com
Does anyone know a poem or passage by Thoreau that talks about to men being on a beach looking at the sky...ends with something like "and i held his hand in mine and I was happy" .... I'm trying to find this!

Could it possibly be When I Heard at the Close of Day, by Walt Whitman?
