by Henry David Thoreau
Thoreau on the energy crisis (p.270):
It is remarkable what a value is still put upon wood even in this age and in this new country, a value more permanent and universal than that of gold…. In this town the price of wood rises almost steadily, and the only question is, how much higher it is to be this year than it was the last.
I’m still slogging through Walden; the last few chapters strike me as downright dull!
