Jayne, Ann, Roger, and John, I don't think it matters, and I finally remembered that Thoreau answered my question with this:

My life has been the poem
I would have writ,
But I could not both live
and utter it.

His prose is all about how he lived; his poems are mostly bad echoes of thee and thy Victorian junk.
