I work on the road as an artist who creates conservation-restoration projects and I live simply. Cheers to the power of pencils and to Thoreau and you! A friend gave me a signed print (signed by Don Henley of the Eagles) when he was helping to save Walden Pond.
I still enjoy my close college friend, now so long gone, coming near every time I use a pencil, which is often. Woodworking plans and jazz tunes appear more freely in the void of no concern for instant readability or a long acid free life. Brian would reflect, pensively, just about whenever he felt it would not be relevant, "You can always find a new friend; you can't always find a good pencil."
Hah, if you had ever read Uncharted you would have discovered that John Fremont always laid in a supply of Thoreau pencils before he set off on his expeditions. I too love those Ticonderogas, though I remain in awe of folks who do the NYT crossword in ink.
Yes, they assume his aunt paid it. But he did spend his night in jail although when he got out he did go to the cobbler! One reason he was protesting the war was that it would open up new territories to slavery. Thanks for reading so closely!
If memory serves me, someone (a friend or family member?) paid Thoreau's tax so that he could proceed to the cobbler. He wouldn't pay his tax, but accepted when someone else did. Also, I think I remember that Thoreau was also protesting the Spanish-American War. I admit to having loved "Civil Disobedience!"
