Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is.

Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. In the excerpt, Thoreau mostly uses imagery to illustrate?

Thoreau mostly uses imagery to illustrate time in the excerpt. The second sentence is saying that he is in the midst of time/living, and he can "detect how shallow it is," meaning that he is aware that life is short and that the end is inevitable. Thoreau also describes time as being fleeting, but ever-present.
I hope this helps!

What was the Transcendentalists' general attitude toward problems in society, such as slavery?
Debora [2.8K]
Transcendentalism was a philosophical movement that held its ground in America for a good half a century. As the believers of this movement were against organised religion and believed that knowledge can be gained with the power of contemplating about the spirit and soul. The transcendentalists were against all kinds of social evils and unjust attitudes that prevailed in the American society at that time. Similarly the problem of slavery and woman emancipation for example greatly irked them. Because transcendentalism found its place only in literature and became a literary movement, the followers of this movement could not really solve the problems but they did voice them in their work, hoping it will open people's eyes.
