Ohhh, this is really very lovely. I really enjoyed the descriptions and the wistful air to it.

Thank you! ^-^

This is awesome. I love how you've worked Thoreau's words and intentions into this piece. It's so rich and sensuous and so deeply Gwaine.

Thank you so much! I'm glad it worked for you! ♥

I LOVE your icon! :D

It really did. I was recently thinking about Thoreau in relation to Merlin, so this was a great piece to read. Are you from the US or do you not want to say? I was wondering how Thoreau would translate for someone who was not from the US. I think it's part of our mythos and Gwaine, of all the knights, seems like he'd appreciate those ideals.

Thanks:D I think at least half my icons come from universaldogma who makes awesome icons. I don't have a Gwaine icon yet and this one seemed most fitting.

Oh, what a coincidence! I started reading Walden years ago and I have to admit I never finished it. His style is a bit tedious to read *hides* but I love the topic. ;)
I'm from Austria, so Thoreau isn't someone I heard of until uni (I was taking a course about John Cage (the composer) and he was a huge fan of Thoreau). I've always been fond of the idea to live somewhere as a sort of hermit though - I guess that's why the prompt drew me in. :)
