Read this excerpt from "Solitude" by Henry David Thoreau. I go and come with a strange liberty in Nature, a part of herself.
As I walk along the stony shore of the pond in my shirt sleeves,
though it is cool as well as cloudy and windy, and I see nothing
special to attract me, all the elements are unusually congenial to
me.
How does Thoreau distinguish the natural world, perhaps in
contrast to the human world?
O Nature is always alert and moving.
O Nature is predictable and ordered.
O Nature is a place where he feels like he belongs.
O Nature provides him with shelter.
