Henry Thoreau identified so deeply with his native Concord all his life that it had an inseparable bearing on the formation of his thought and literature. Demonstrating his fabulous kinship with nature was his two-year stay at Walden Pond, an occasion which rendered him fresh momentum for his engagement with the natural world as well as a living foundation for his nature-oriented epistemology. His pondside life was depicted in Walden(1854), a lucid and pithy account resonating with his constant reminder of man’s ineluctable ties with nature. Walden Pond, thus coupled with the name of Thoreau, remains embedded in the minds of his readers as the emblem of his mental landscape.
