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!

matrenka [14]

Answer:

I can help, i love writing especially songs. Here are a few suggestions for lyrics :) They aren't going to be as good right now because it is late but if you still need help in the morning  ( Its 8:38 pm here and i woke up at 4) then i would be glad to help :)

Lyrics i made:

I feel like i'm searching a forbidden path

walking and walking but i think im trapped

the voices and secrets  they get to my head

do they see it when i lie?

when i say that i'm alright

can they tell how long i've been looking?

i fall deep into this hole

still i keep searching slowly loosing hope

A few things you could correct:

" I barely know myself ( who am i?) so how can i know if the answers i find are real?" could possibly be changed to " If i dont even know who i am how can i  know if the answers wont lead me down the wrong path?"

" So many things have changed yet it all feels the same" could be changed to " Everything is different but the rest stays the same"
