Henry David Thoreau
in Walden (1854)
‘One farmer says to me, “You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with;” and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw materials of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plough along in spite of every obstacle.’
Henry David Thoreau
from Walden in the chapter named ‘Economy’
Hey boy! Pay attention to me when I’m talkin’ to ya!
What, I say what’s the big idea? Don’t stand there gawkin’ sister!
Nice girl, but more mixed up than a feather in a whirlwind!
Pay attention to me boy! I’m not just talkin’ to hear my head roar! Get down, I say get down to Raystede and support the good work they’re doin’! Any of this sinkin’ in???
