Best Poem Of Henry David Thoreau

The Moon

Time wears her not; she doth his chariot guide;
Mortality below her orb is placed.
--Raleigh

The full-orbed moon with unchanged ray
Mounts up the eastern sky,
Not doomed to these short nights for aye,
But shining steadily.

She does not wane, but my fortune,
Which her rays do not bless,
My wayward path declineth soon,
But she shines not the less.

And if she faintly glimmers here,
And paled is her light,
Yet alway in her proper sphere
She's mistress of the night.

God leaves alone.

It is not worth the while to let our imperfections disturb us always. The conscience really does not, and ought not to monopolize the whole of our lives, any more than the heart or the head. It is as liable to disease as any other part.

I should have written: 'and spent some nights in jail'. One word missed out.

Thoreau was also an accomplished prose writer. He loved the solitary life, alone in his hut, nature outside. I think this is Thoreau's strength as a writer; he is not a socialized man, but, rather, proud and independent. I agree with his ideas about civil disobedience, the fact that he would not pay the poll tax and some nights in jail for his beliefs.

Thoreau's poetry is really thought provoking. Much like Walt Whitman.

Trees are busy having sex with other trees for a fair part of the year. They cross-polinate all the time when they bloom. Were us better humans who might bang 10-20 of the opposite sex a year, Trees can do it with as many brethren as the wind and bees and birds can reach. To think they are combined by roots? LOL, NO, trees are are far more advanced and have sex with 100's of their kind in a day. yes I could have made a poem of this as well
