Just like Thoreau said in the excerpt, "it is something to be able to paint a particular picture or to carve a statue and so to make a few objects beautiful " In my opinion, creativity can start from a pebble into a statue, and sometimes creativity can be fleeting and therefore it can disappear. In other words, creativity stems from a sudden explosion of thought and personal perspective; however, that burst of energy can die off in time if it is not used or it is replaced by a new idea. Therefore, Henry Thoreau is telling us that if we do not keep up with things that we claim to love, then they might wear off and in the end, we lose passion altogether. Creativity may be natural for some, and for others it has to be worked on. By being able to draw something out of what already exists or out of nothing displays creativity. As I wrote earlier, Henry states that life deserves contemplation. From those lines (7 through 8), I believe that Henry was trying tell us that in order to have creativity you have to be shown how; at the "most elevated and critical hour " you are experiencing something that is inexplicable through constant thinking. You become creative by choosing to be aware of the act of learning because you identify with the choice of doing so. No one else can help you pursue your passions. Finding the value of learning things on your own will help you in understanding the value of pursuing what you love. If everything is handed to you in life and you don't have to work for it you lose the side of you that makes you creative. If l am learning how to do things such as build, speak, or fix, then this is something that will give you skills knowledge and confidence that will be used in all the aspects of life then it is well worth being learned. It will make us independent.
Those said things can be either animate or inanimate objects bringing out life in your thoughts; "oracles would distinctly show us how thing might be done.
