“In The Wildness Is The Preservation Of The World”
Inspired by Henry David Thoreau in an 1851 lecture called "Walking".
Thoreau would agree with today's environmentalists that wilderness is a state of nature, but he uses wildness to refer instead to a state of humanity. The lecture encourages people to be wild, which he equates with "absolute freedom" as opposed to the limited freedom available in a "culture merely civil."
