I swear, you could easily have read this in *my* blog...

HG Wells essay, The Trouble of Life
from Certain Personal Matters (1901)

Thoreau, too, come to think of it, was, by way of being a prophet, a
pioneer in this Emancipation of Man from Bothery.

Well said.

This is a very clever, not to mention poignant, piece. Thank you so much for sharing it!
