Tao Yuanming and Henry David Thoreau were both poets, but one lived in Ancient China and the other in 19th century America.Superficially, these two men,whose lives were separated in time by nearly 1,500 years, were polar opposites①. And yet they shared an intense② respect for③ nature, which made them each an influential figure of their time.

Both men made dramatic transformations④ to their lives in order to reconnect with nature. As an official in the Eastern Jin Dynasty,Tao felt conflicted⑤ over life at court. In 405, he quit the service of the court for good⑥, expressing his unhappiness in the now famous line that he would not “bow⑦ like a servant in return for⑧ five dou of grain”. He spent the next 22 years until his death, working the land⑨ in a poor, rural⑩ area. From his poetry, we can learn that although his life was arduous, he succeeded in finding contentment⑪ in its simplicity⑫ and in drawing pleasure from nature.

While Tao's return to nature was a reaction to⑬ a lifestyle he was opposed to⑭, Thoreau's was a personal decision to transform the way he lived. He had a decent⑮ quality of life, but he wanted to live in a simpler way. For two years, two months and two days, he lived in a cottage⑯ in the forest on the edge of Walden Pond, focusing on himself and his writing. He explained his reason for doing so in Walden: “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front⑰ only the essential facts of life.” Both men were happy to withdraw from⑱ contemporary⑲ life, seeking a harmonious relationship with⑳ nature in the quietness of their lives.
