章節(jié)摘錄

版權(quán)頁：Not long since, a strolling Indian went to sell baskets at thehouse of a well-known lawyer in my neighborhood. "Do youwish to buy any baskets？" he asked. "No, we do not want any,"was the reply. "What！" exclaimed the Indian as he went out thegate, "do you mean to starve us？" Having seen his industriouswhite neighbors so well off  that the lawyer had only to weavearguments, and, by some magic, wealth and standing followed,he had said to himself: I will go into business; I will weavebaskets; it is a thing which I can do. Thinking that when hehad made the baskets he would have done his part, and then itwould be the white man's to buy them. He had not discoveredthat it was necessary for him to make it worth the other's whileto buy them, or at least make him think that it was so, or tomake something else which it would be worth his while to buy.I too had woven a kind of basket of a delicate texture, but I hadnot made it worth any one's while to buy them. Yet not theless, in my case, did I think it worth my while to weave them,and instead of studying how to make it worth men's while tobuy my baskets, I studied rather how to avoid the necessity ofselling them. The life which men praise and regard as successfulis but one kind. Why should we exaggerate any one kind at theexpense of the others？

Ido not to write an ode to dejection but to brag as lustily as chanticleer in the morning,standing on his roost,if only to wake my neighbors up .　　——H.D.Thoreau.
