Text
Thoreau, Henry David. Journal ; Aug. 22 (1838).
How thrilling a noble sentiment in the oldest books, - in Homer, the Zendavesta, or Confucius ! It is a strain of music waited down to us on the breeze of time, though the aisles of innumerable ages. By its very nobleness it is made near and audible to us.
