" That I may accomplish some petty, particular affair well, 

 I live my whole life coarsely. Yet the man who does not 

 betake himself at once and desperately to sawing is called 

 a loafer, though he may be knocking at the door of heaven 

 all the while, which shall surely be opened to him. I can see 

 nothing so holy as unrelaxed play and frolic in this bower 

 God has built for us. 1 ' H. D. THOREAU.
