Friends Like These: On Thoreau and Emerson

• grey-area 7y ago
  This is an excellent article, thanks for posting. It's funny how Thoreau has now so eclipsed the star of Emerson which shone much brighter in his own time. This often seems to happen - writers who seem omnipresent and influential in their own time turn out to have less to say to future generations.

    I feel like this sort of transformation is happening with the beats writers in the contemporary day. Their influence is rapidly shifting as culture shifts.
