Friday Poetry: Henry David Thoreau

Poetry 1 Minute

Happy Friday!

My chosen poem this week is by Henry David Thoreau born 12th July 1817 and died 6th May 1862. Thoreau was an American essayist, poet and philosopher.

Men Say They Know Many Things

Men say they know many things;
But lo! They have taken wings,-
The arts and the sciences,
And a thousand appliances;
The wind that blows
Is all that anybody knows. 

Henry David Thoreau
