Autumn on Walden Lake
On the surface, Thoreau wrote about the beautiful scenery of Walden Lake, described the delicate and vivid image, the recollection of walden Lake's past and its concern about its actual situation, and praised the vastness and eternity of Walden Lake.
In fact, through the description of the beautiful lake light and water color of Walden Lake, it expresses the rich feelings of Thoreau's viewing, expresses the desire to convert to nature and the sadness of the destruction of nature by the development of human civilization.

Opening the book and following the ripples of Thoreau's thoughts, you can feel his life in the 19th century.
He built a hut with those sketchy words, "the wind pouring in through the cracks, sitting behind the door, but it seems that there is no barrier to the door at all, the tip of the nose is entangled with the smell of earth and flowers, the corners of the mouth contain the bitterness of grass and roots, and the only heart is clearer."
