Henry David Thoreau, Where I lived, and What I lived For, Page 25
“To be awake is to be alive.”
The main reason why Thoreau went to the Walden pound was to become aware of nature. By becoming aware of nature Thoreau hoped to achieve awaking. When the word “awake” is used in this statement he means to have a full perspective of live and nature thus by being awake he is alive. Latter on in this reading Thoreau speaks about how man cares only for technology. To his standards they are not alive for they do not have a full perspective of life for the do not care for nature. Thus these types of men to Thoreau are dead. So really he is saying to experience nature is to be bloom.
