		<description><![CDATA[One mind. Once more. As to what was said on last page. There is One Mind, &#038; therefore the best minds who love truth for its own sake, think much less of property in truth.

		<description><![CDATA[Pleasant walk yesterday, the most pleasant of days. At Walden Pond, I found a musical instrument which I call the ice-harp. It&#8217;s a thin coat of ice covered a part of the pond but melted around the edge of the shore. I threw a stone upon the ice which rebounded with a shrill sound, &#038; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here are two or three facts plain &#038; clear. That histories are not yet history; that the historian should be a philosopher, for surely he can describe the outward event better if assisted by the sight of the cause; historians are men of talents, &#038; of the market, &#038; not devout, benevolent, with eyes that [...]]]></description>
