Walden is Henry David Thoreau’s account of the two years he lived in a cabin near Walden Pond. I have wanted to read Thoreau for a while, and Catherine K.’s “Fall thoughts, fall reads” gave me a nudge. She ends her section on it with the book’s final lines:

Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.
