Walden Chapter 14: Former Inhabitants;
and Winter Visitors
- Thoreau amuses himself when he is alone by
imagining people who he thinks used to live in the
woods.
- He never knew these people, but he mentions their names and their backgrounds.
- Thoreau is alone a lot in the winter because
he rarely gets visitors.
- Once he returned home and was surprised to find the
smell of someone's pipe in his house and logs in the fire.
- However, he receives visits from a farmer, a
poet, and a religious man all of which he
enjoys the company of very much.
- He suspects one of them was in his house.
