Biographical essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson,
Atlantic Monthly, August 1862 — Emerson's Thoreau in
two parts:
Part 1 –
Part 2
–Emerson
was a major influence and mentor for Thoreau; it was Emerson who loaned
Henry a pond side property for the two year experiment that resulted in
Walden. But as Thoreau grew, Emerson appears to not to have fully
appreciated what was happening. He writes that "I cannot help counting it a
fault in him that he had no ambition." — apparently missing completely the
enormity and originality of Thoreau's ambitions.
