| Summary | "The Last Harvest" by John Burroughs is a collection of reflective essays written in the early 20th century. The essays are largely derived from Burroughs’s observations on nature, literature, and the personal musings drawn from his life experiences, particularly his engagement with the works of influential thinkers like Ralph Waldo Emerson. The collection serves as a profound exploration of Burroughs's thoughts on the significance of nature and the spiritual connections one can draw from it. The opening of this collection introduces us to the depth of Burroughs's admiration for Emerson, emphasizing the impact Emerson's works have had on him throughout his life. Burroughs articulates his desire to reflect on Emerson's contributions against the backdrop of a tumultuous world, hinting at his own contemplative journey as he grapples with the passage of time. The section invites readers to engage with Burroughs's personal reflections and analyses as he seeks to uncover the layers of meaning found in the natural world and in human experience, suggesting a melding of literary exploration with deep philosophical inquiry.
