The perfect statement that best describes the passage is "<span>Fortune ever fair Kissed him and with such a lecherous affection He lost his head before he was aware." Which means that the main character had taken advantage of his fortune, and the hardwork he put up into. He led a life filled with mindless decisions which led the down fall of his pride and his fortune. </span>

In spite of the fact that Thoreau advocates peaceful activity in "Protection from Civil Government," he later upheld the savage activities of John Brown, who executed unarmed expert subjugation pilgrims in Kansas, and in 1859 assaulted the bureaucratic weapons store at Harper's Ferry, Virginia. In "A Plea for Captain John Brown," Thoreau depicts Brown as a "Holy messenger of Light" (R, 137) and "a visionary most importantly" (115) who trusted "that a man has an ideal appropriate to meddle by power with the slaveholder, so as to safeguard the slave" (R,132). In mid 1860, only months previously the episode of the Civil War, he and Emerson took an interest out in the open recognitions of Brown's life and activities.
