jul 17, 1854 - Walden

Description:

1. “...I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to face only the essential facts of life…”

2. Walden is important to Canon because it shows everyone something, which is that we should focus on the main things in life besides being overrun by the details. It is also written by a prominent transcendental writer of the time who gives us insight of things going on in history.
