Thoreau and the Language of Trees Higgins Richard
Trees were central to Henry David Thoreau's creativity as a writer, his work as a naturalist, his thought, and his inner life. When Thoreau wrote that the poet loves the pine tree as his own shadow in the air, he was speaking about himself. His portraits of them were so perfect, it was as if he could see the sap flowing beneath their bark.
His lively essays show that trees were a thread connecting all parts of Thoreau's being--heart, mind, and spirit. In short, he spoke their language.In this original book, Richard Higgins explores Thoreau's deep connections to trees: his keen perception of them, the joy they gave him, the poetry he saw in them, his philosophical view of them, and how they fed his soul. Included are one hundred excerpts from Thoreau's writings about trees, paired with over sixty of the author's photographs.
