Whenever I am able to do a play in Concord, especially about the Transcendentalists, I give my Mom a line or two.
In SENSE, she read my aunt's poetry.
In Thoreau vs Schultz, she read the line "I came to the woods because I wished to live deliberately" in Portuguese. I was proud to find it in my Portuguese version of Walden, As Vida Nos Bosques.
And my latest idea is to record people who know different languages to say something in their native language. And record it, and edit it all together. To show how international (and American, by the way) Walden really can be.
