Journal of Henry David Thoreau

Heaven on Earth Pg 24

Jan 6, As a child looks forward to the coming of summer , so could we contemplate with quiet joy he circle of the seasons returning without fail eternally. As the spring came around during so many years f the gods, we could go out to admire and adorn a new Eden, and yet never tire.

This immediately caught my eye and knew I would be able to relate to it. Being a student and knowing summer is going to come I can’t help but think about all of the possibilities and everything that I have been missing out on. School can be related to seasons considering that the semesters are named after them spring, fall and summer and most of us cant wait for the summer to come and enjoy all the things we forgot about without having to worry about sleeping. Its a like a new Eden a new beginning.
