Walden Ch 13 Flashcards
Makes mortar with
White sand
Sometimes used bricks as a
Pillow when poets visit him
A place where you can see the fire that cooks your food is better than
Most houses
A house where paroles and kitchens and workshops are at a far distance from each other::
All life becomes a metaphor
Thoreau liked to lie stretched on the clear ice of the pond and
Look down into the still water straight to the bottom
Found that ice on the pond would form around
Bubbles
Bubbles beneath ice would melt and rot it
Thoreau grieved when any part of the woods is
Burned or cut down
Wood has a value that is more
Permanent and universal than gold
Humans heat the air making a
Perpetual summer
Thoreau needs the warmth of his house to
Revive himself
With winter Thoreau faces the
Real test of nature
Transcendentalism is the reaction to
Rationalism and strongly encourages pure nature and humanity

His relationship with nature
Thoreau studies masonry in preparation for
Building his chimney
