‏ Page 62.Thoreau slowed the process to a crawl. He elongated the gap between hypothesis and conclusion, between seeing and seen. We must look for a long time before we can see. Seeing is subjective. He thought seeing and feeling or intertwined he couldn’t see something if he didn’t feel it. How he felt determined not only how he saw, but what he saw. For him, seeing was not only emotive, but also interactive.
