Bronson Alcott writes in his journal:
Evening. Emerson came in to consult me on lodge he intends building on the peak of his woodlot, near Walden Water. He showed me H. Thoreau’s design, to which I added another story, as a lookout . . . Emerson, Miss Fuller, Thoreau, and myself, are the only persons who treat things in the new spirit, each working distinct veins of the same mine of Being.
(The Journals of Bronson Alcott, 179-180)
