GarryVolchara [31]

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau is a writer who is known for the simplicity of hissliterary works.

He sought to remove himself from all forms of social life and move closer to nature so he moved into a cabin he built on Walden Pond to reminisce.

His book <em>Walden</em> shows some of his experiences in the cabin he stayed in. He effectively said from his ode <em>Walten: </em>

<u><em>"With a little more deliberation in the choice of their pursuits, all men would perhaps become essentially students and observers, for certainly their nature and destiny are interesting to all alike. </em></u><u><em>In accumulating property for ourselves or our posterity, in founding a family or a state, or acquiring fame even, we are mortal; but in dealing with truth we are immortal, and need fear no change nor accident."</em></u>
