This is a bit tangential to British Romanticism, but I'm currently reading Henry David Thoreau's "Walden" alongside his Journal, and was wondering if any of you have any experience with Thoreau or anything to say about him. I personally find his journal wonderfully poetic--the way he discovers metaphorical / spiritual truths in the mundane...when I read Thoreau, it's almost as if I were reading Keats, especially in his praises of solitude and "fertile sadness"...any thoughts?

I don't think there is any evidence the two authors ever met.
