Thoreau

"I am still a learner, not a teacher, feeding somewhat omnivorously, browsing both stalk and leaves..." 

Henry David Thoreau, 1817–1862

Henry died at home on May 6, 1862.  His aunt asks him if he had made peace with God.  He tells her he did not know that they had quarreled.

After Robert Sullivan, The Thoreau You Don't Know, 2009.
