The JCES 2nd Grade GATE students have been learning about kites and what makes them fly, so they had to
build a kite workshop and flew their own. Photo contributed.
CORNER
I went to the woods
Henry David Thoreau
I went to the woods because I wished to
Live deliberately, to front only the essential
Facts of life, and see if I could not learn
What it had to teach, and not, when I
Came to die, discovered that I had not lived.
I did not wish to live what was not life,
Living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice
resignation, unless it was quite
Necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck
Out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and
Spartan-like as to put to rout
All that was not life, to cut a broad swath
And shave close, to drive life into a
Corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms,
And, if it proved to be mean, why then to
Get the whole and genuine meanness of it,
And publish its meanness to the world; or
If it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be
able to give a true
Account of it in my next excursion.
