Andrew Kaplan, February 14, 2008 (view all comments by Andrew Kaplan)
Thoreau believes ultimately that man aspires to greatness -- that no matter how spiteful we become of our regimen of daily work; regardless of our concerns for wealth and success and the approval of our bosses and our peers; we inevitably find ourselves drawn sidelong to another plane, where simply, effortlessly, we situate our minds within the slipstream of the present and discard the emotions that immure our minds in past and future cares.
