"If you are restricted in your range by poverty, if you cannot buy books and newspapers, for instance, you are but confined to the most significant and vital experiences. Money is not required to buy one necessity for the soul."
- Henry David Thoreau, 'Walden'
#BookChatweekly #booksky #Thoreau

The title page of the first edition of Thoreau's 'Walden or Life In The Woods'. The illustration is of a small cabin among trees and was drawn by his sister Sophia.
