Answer:

n five-line stanzas rhymed abaac, Henry David Thoreau offers a meditation on the nature, beauty, and power of friendship. In summary, when he thinks of love, Thoreau tells us that love is so vast as to be a whole world, linking the earthly to God. Love is the thing which makes him the most happy, though he couldn’t say why. Asking a friend about the nature of love is no good, since as soon as you try to put love into words, its power overwhelms you, says Thoreau. Love is not about what we say but rather our thoughts and actions: actions, if you like, speak louder than words when it comes to love. And the truth of its power will reach us, without our needing to articulate it in words. Love is when truth, beauty, and goodness combine in a sort of alternative holy trinity, meeting in one person; and this love is transformed into friendship when such a person meets another of like mind, who is willing to reciprocate these qualities to the other person. Friendship, embodied by two good friends, is like two sturdy oaks weathering a storm; they are able to withstand the winter storm because they stand together, their roots interlinked and entwined under the ground.

This final image is worth pondering: Thoreau seems to be implying that, just as the truth of love cannot be spoken, so the real strength of true friendship is out of sight, unseen, like those roots underground. Friendship is not about being seen to be someone’s friend, or at least not always: sometimes it is about those ‘little unremembered acts of kindness and of love’, as Wordsworth had put it in his ‘Tintern Abbey’.

In the last analysis, then, the power of love resides in thoughts and actions rather than in language; and the true value of friendship lies in being strong and dependable, even though the means of supporting friends are often out of sight, done for their own sake, rather than for any kudos or thanks.
