Thoreau for Younger Readers

"I can guess pretty well what interests you, and what you think about. Indeed I am interested in pretty much the same things myself. I suppose you think that persons who are as old as your father and myself are always thinking about very grave things, but I know that we are meditating the same old themes that we did when we were ten years old, only we go more gravely about it."
----Letter, Thoreau to ten-year-old Ellen Emerson, July 31, 1849
