Henry David Thoreau Quote

In civilization, as in a southern latitude, man degenerates at length, and yields to the incursion of more northern tribes.


A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (ed. 1873)


In civilization, as in a southern latitude, man degenerates at length, and yields to the incursion of more northern tribes.

In civilization, as in a southern latitude, man degenerates at length, and yields to the incursion of more northern tribes.

In civilization, as in a southern latitude, man degenerates at length, and yields to the incursion of more northern tribes.

In civilization, as in a southern latitude, man degenerates at length, and yields to the incursion of more northern tribes.
