Analysis and comments on Prayer by Henry David Thoreau

Comment 2 of 2, added on April 27th, 2009 at 3:48 PM.

Although Thoreau was a spiritually enlightened individual, the poem
expresses his need to fulfill his words though his actions. Also, to be
happy with himself as well as please others. Lastly, he expresses that he
is not ignorant to God's plan, but he is also not overratting his.... well,
designs.

warm heart because i too love god. God is love. love is god. meow.
