This was originally a lecture given by Thoreau in 1851 at the Concord lyceum titled "The Wild" . He revised it before his death and it was included as part of the June 1862 edition of Atlantic Monthly. This essay appears, on the surface, to be simply expounding the qualities of Nature and man's place therein. Through this medium he not only touches those subjects, but with the implications of such a respect for nature, or lack thereof. (Summary by Chris Masterson)

Well done, with some stumbles.
I've often looked for things at night to listen to that might cause me to dream loftier dreams. This has done just that. The narrator stumbled on a few words but carried on well. I appreciate his effort and hope he contributes more.
