In Thoreau’s late natural history writings, he became passionately attentive to the natural world. A selection of these late writings, published as Wild Fruits in 2000, ends with an interesting prescription for staying healthy: “Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each…. For all Nature is doing her best each moment to make us well…. Why, Nature is but another name for health.”
