Transcendentalism is a philosophical movement developed in the USA in the 1820s, which focuses on the kindness of people and nature, as well as on people's independence and ability to depend on oneself. It was born in opposition to the intellectualism and spirituality of the time. Consequently, Thoreau's quote reflects his conscious and intentional decision to move to the forest in order to discover the meaning of life and his own independent self.

how does reihani create meaning by juxtaposing the words vague and terror in the phrase "vague terror" in paragraph 4?
MariettaO [177]
"Vague terror" is terror that has no clear cause; as such, it is all-encompassing.

Usually terror is directly caused by something. For example, someone might have a terror of heights, crowds, or spiders. In these situations, the source of one's terror is clear, and avoiding the trigger (heights, crowds, spiders) is generally easy to do.

If terror were to have a clear source, it could be easily defined (and therefore easily combatted). When terror is vague, however, it cannot be easily defined (and cannot be easily defeated). Therefore, "vague terror" is much worse.
