It is in vain to dream of a wildness distant.... : Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“ It is in vain to dream of a wildness distant from ourselves. There is none such. It is in the bog in our brains and bowels, the primitive vigour of Nature in us, that inspires that dream. I shall never find in the wilds of Labrador any greater wildness than in some recess of Concord, i.e. than I import into it. ”

Henry David Thoreau
