Walking

Henry David Thoreau, essay on Walking:
I think that I cannot preserve my health and spirits, unless I spend four hours a day at least -- and it is commonly more than that -- sauntering through the woods.
Jane Thoreau (his aunt), letter dated 7 September 1848:
I wish he could find something better to do than walking off every now and then.
