Read this quote by henry david Thorea from Walden.
"We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us even in our soundest sleep. I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor."
Name one ideal that this quote demonstrates of Transcendentalism? How does this ideal compare or contrast with gothic romanticism? (Be sure to give an example from your readings of poe or Hawthorne.)
