Danyelle Freeman Sucks: The Marrow Out Of Life, In General
A different heresy: To live deeply and suck out the marrow of life.
Post a Comment. Saturday, 25 August To live deeply and suck out the marrow of life. For so many of us we do not till the soil, our hands are not dirty with the labour of producing food for our existence. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion. Often these movements are driven by economic or environmental issues. Given my current context in a relatively wealthy area of Brisbane I see little evidence of people making the connection with the land and life as elsewhere and even less impetus to do so.

The text is a reflection upon simple living in natural surroundings. The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment , voyage of spiritual discovery, satire , and—to some degree—a manual for self-reliance. First published in , Walden details Thoreau's experiences over the course of two years, two months, and two days in a cabin he built near Walden Pond amidst woodland owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson , near Concord , Massachusetts. The experience later inspired Walden , in which Thoreau compresses the time into a single calendar year and uses passages of four seasons to symbolize human development. The book can be seen as performance art , a demonstration of how easy it can be to acquire the four necessities of life.
