GREAT WEST.
HENRY DAVID THOREAUan American author and
naturalist. Born in ConcordMass.in 1817; died1862.
From his "Excursions published by Houghton
Mifflin &
Co.
Every sunset which I witness inspires me with the desire to
go to a west as distant and as far as that into which the sun
goes down. He appears to migrate westward daily
and
tempt us to follow him. He is the Great Western Pioneer
whom the nations follow. We dream all night of those
mountain ridges in the horizon
though they may be of
vapor only
which were last gilded by his rays. The Island
Christopher Columbus and His Monument by Various

of Atlantis
and the islands and gardens of the Hesperides
a sort of terrestrial paradise
appear to have been the
Great West of the ancients
enveloped in mystery and
poetry. Who has not seen in imagination
when looking into
the sunset sky
the gardens of the Hesperides
and the
foundation of all those fables?
