"Mine begins in a neighborhood bookstore where I pulled a book off the shelf simply because it was small and green-like the little green book I'd been carrying around (filched from my father's library) by a writer named Ralph Waldo Emerson." "Everyone who comes to Thoreau has a story," Walls writes in her introduction. It represents my introduction to the Concord gang. On a shelf near my desk is a ragged Modern Library edition of Walden that I purchased in the late 1960s. Five hundred pages later, I emerged humbled once again by revelations about and astute interpretations of Thoreau's singular life. As sometimes happens with biographies, I opened the book thinking I already knew a lot about the subject. I thought about this recently after reading Henry David Thoreau: A Life by Laura Dassow Walls, a fine exploration of Thoreau the writer. The question pops up often, in variations on this theme: "Which three writers, dead or alive, would you invite to a literary dinner party?" My answer has long been the same: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Margaret Fuller and Henry David Thoreau at Emerson's house in Concord, Mass.

After all, it should be your exclusive expiation. They would deprive you of part of the expiation you desire, which would be owed to them for their involvement. For were someone to support you in this, help you, take on even a scrap of that baptism of fire, that pain, that penance, they would, by the same token, impoverish you. You’ll pass through fire, which burns, but also purges. For, after all, they are components of the penance, the expiation of guilt you want to earn.
