I just searched ao3 and there isn't a single fic where the Poets go to Walden Pond?? All those fics taking inspo from 'the lakes' and not ONE brought up THE lake where THE dead poet wrote the DPS intro to every meeting?? I need to fill this niche immediately

Walden Pond Revisited by N C Wyeth
+
It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see… — Thoreau
I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual. It is surprising how contented one can be with nothing definite - only a sense of existence.
Well, anything for variety. I am ready to try this for the next ten thousand years, and exhaust it. How sweet to think of! my extremities well charred, and my intellectual part too, so that there is no danger of worm or rot for a long while.
My breath is sweet to me. O how I laugh when I think of my vague indefinite riches.
No run on my bank can drain it, for my wealth is not possession but enjoyment.
Henry David Thoreau [poetic outlaws]

I took the commuter rail to Concord and then biked to Walden Pond! I had a great swim and got to just sit in the shade on the edge of the forest, then I biked back to the town to explore down Main Street a little.

I had this pic lying around in my screenshot collection and I felt like making a height comparison chart.  These are most of the NPCs I use when I make FO4 Machinimas.
Red names are generic enemies/presets that I “adopted” and gave names to. 
Black names are regular characters
Blue names are my OC/Player characters.
Obviously this isn’t official but I felt like making/uploading this for imagination’s sake.

I went to the woods - Henry David Thoreau
I went to the woods – Henry David Thoreau
I want to share with you a quote that I absolutely love from Walden, written by Henry David Thoreau and published in 1854. I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear;…

"We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us even in our soundest sleep. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavour. It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts." ~ Henry David Thoreau, 'Walden'
[Ian Sanders]
