A Walk in the Woods

An anonymous quotation reads, "I took a walk in the woods and came out taller than the trees." The original source of that quotation, often attributed to Henry David Thoreau, has not been identified. Below is a haiku of mine based on the anonymous quotation above. The first line of this haiku of mine is exactly quoted from Walden; or, Life in the Woods by Henry David Thoreau.

I went to the woods
and walked in them. I came out
taller than the trees.


 Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
