THOREAU ON WATER REFLECTING HEAVEN Edited by Robert France

Thoreau's most famous book is named for a pond, and he had an almost mystical fascination with water. As he wrote in his journal, Water indeed reflects heaven because my mind does -- such is its own serenity -- its transparency -- & stillness. THOREAU ON WATER brings together his finest writing on one of his greatest passions.
