Walden

by Thoreau, Henry David (2008)

Key Passage

When my hoe tinkled against the stones, that music echoed to the woods and the sky, and was an accompaniment to my labor which yielded an instant and immeasurable crop. It was no longer beans that I hoed, nor I that hoed beans; and I remembered with as much pity as pride, if I remembered at all, myacquaintances who had gone to the city to attend the oratorios. (p.143)
