American creator, writer, naturalist, visionary, and abolitionist, Henry David Thoreau was a prosperity to American Literature for a long time. Thoreau once said, "the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation". This quote originated from his book, Walden which focuses on communicating a visionary and naturalist point of view on life and recognizing the world around you. This quote can be interpreted as Thoreau saying that you should lead a life of trustworthiness and not rely on anybody but yourself.

Taken truthfully and truly, it is obviously incomprehensible for Thoreau to die understanding that he did not live.

The experimentalism of Thoreau's attempt is communicated in his candid affirmation that he is trying out a thought, as opposed to demonstrating an inescapable result.

On a strict level, he wishes to pick his way of life freely and astutely, subject to his own particular pondering and nobody else's.
