He went 1 Mr. Lowell, in My Study Windows.
PERSONALITY AND CHARACTER 129 to nature, not as a sickly valetudinarian, seeking a cure for his ailments, but as a sane and healthy man, the secret of whose health lay in this very familiarity with the open air. Walking was a necessity of Thoreau s existence ; he demanded four hours . At least each day for sauntering at leisure over hills, and woods, and fields, taking short cuts when he could, and avoiding for the most part the grit and noise of the b...usier high roads. The direction of his walks was usually, owing to some strange and indefinable attraction, towards the west or south-west, as at once the home of wildness and the goal of human migration ; every sunset which he saw (and sunset was one of his habitual times for walking) inspired him with the desire to go to a West "as distant and as fair as that into which the sun goes down. " The old Marlboro road which led south-west from Concord, through a spacious tract of open country abounding in patches of scrub-oak and wild apples, was one of his favourite haunts ; so, too, were Walden woods and the " Cliffs " which overhang Fairhaven, the wide bay formed by a bend of the river two miles south of the village.
