One of the "golden lines" from "Walden" could be: "<span>Let us settle ourselves, and work and wedge our feet downward through the mud and slush of opinion, and prejudice, and tradition, and delusion, and appearance, that alluvion which covers the globe, through Paris and London, through New York and Boston and Concord, through church and state, through poetry, philosophy and religion, till we come to a hard bottom and rocks in place, which we can call </span><span>reality."
This line illustrates the romantic idea of nature as a source of spiritual nourishment. More precisely, nature is here represented as a complete opposite of the civilized and urbanized world, with all of its cultural phenomena. According to Thoreau, we shouldn't be wary of the mud in nature. We should be wary of the real, sticky, burdening mud of civilization, which is so difficult to get rid of. It is the mud of prejudice, opinion, tradition, delusion - everything that the civilized people cling to so ardently.</span>
Answer:
extended discussion on a subject
Explanation:
Course as defined in the scenario above means movement along a path. The word discourse could therefore be broken into two:
dis - which plays the role of a prefix and ;
course - the root word meaning movement along a path
The prefix usually means : to break, move apart, deviate or opposite of something. Therefore combining the root word and the prefix, we might define discourse to mean a discussion or talks which isn't just in a certain direction or path, it could be characterized as being unusually long covering various fields.
