Walden Chapter 10: Baker Farm

Walden Chapter 10: Baker Farm

1. Thoreau writes that while he was in the woods one day, he stood at the end of a rainbow.

   • He remembers feeling dazzled and fascinated by what he saw.
   • He compares the woods to shrines in a temple. (Is that a religious thing?)

2. One day he met a man named John Field while visiting his house.

   • He is an Irishman.
   • He is hardworking.
   • Thoreau encourages him to commit to the same simple lifestyle like him and to enjoy nature and the finer things in life.
