D. Thoreau feels as if he is in harmony with his environment.

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau's famous book "Walden" reflects upon the simplicity of life lived in natural surroundings. He was heavily influenced by transcendentalist philosophy and prophesizes simple living and self-sufficiency as the major goals of life.  

In this excerpt, he has employed imagery to appeal to the physical senses of the audience and enhance the message of harmony in living with nature("strange liberty in nature"). The imagery in the excerpt exemplifies that he is in conformity with his environment. He immerses himself into nature as he feels that it(nature) influences personal growth.

- "he is a very real person and his intent isn't to influence us vonnegut addresses this towards the end of the letter when he says, if we choose to curse, that is by our own individual means."
