The Language of These Fields

AND

Forever Untamable Nature

"If a man is rich and strong anywhere, it must be on his native soil. Here I have been these forty years learning the language of these fields that I may the better express myself." ? Journal, November 20 1857

The Language of These Fields transports you back to Henry's Concord where he would saunter past farms, through meadows, near bogs, and along Virginia Road, where Thoreau Farm stands today. 

Wander through this "most estimable place in all the world" where "the meadow smells sweet as you go along low places in the road at sundown" and you may "pass through a little region possessed by the fragrance of ripe apples, and thus enjoy them without price, and without robbing anybody." (Journal, December 5, 1856; Journal,  May 26, 1852; and Wild Apples)

The Language of These Fields SENSORY HISTORY AROMAS: Freshly Tilled Earth, Sun-kissed Field Grass, Wild Apple, and Bog Moss

"Perhaps I most fully realized that this was primeval, untamed, and forever untamable Nature, or whatever else men call it, while coming down this part of the mountain." ? Maine Woods

With Forever Untamable Nature, travel with Henry to the Maine wilderness of the 1840s and 1850s, and make camp near Ktaadn, Chesuncook, Allegash or East Branch. 

Walk on "the fresh and natural surface of the planet Earth, as it was made forever and ever?a damp and intricate wilderness, in the spring everywhere wet and miry," where "it is remarkable that such delicate flowers should here adorn these wilderness paths" and "there is no scent in it so wholesome at that of the Pines." (The Maine Woods & Excursions)
