Time is but the stream i go a-fishing in. i drink at it; but while i drink i see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. its thin current slides away, but eternity remains.

a. the beauty that is in the natural world.
b. the idea that he is unconcerned with dying.
c. his argument that everyone should move more slowly.
d. his belief that the passing of hours and days is irrelevant.

The correct answer to the question: In the excerpt, Thoreau mostly uses imagery to illustrate, would be, D: His belief that the passing of hours and days, is irrelevant.

Explanation:

Henry David Thoreau, an american thinker and writer, who authored the recognized novel "Walden", which was published in 1854, was a firm believer in the need for people to go back to the simplest way of life, the purest way of life, possible. As such, he himself undertook this objective, by moving into a small cottage at Walden Pond, near Concord, Massachussetts, which belonged to his friend Ralph Waldo Emerson. Given this desire of Thoreau´s to go back into simplicity, and forget about time, pressure, and the world outside of that natural beauty and isolation, it is only logical that when you read this particular excerpt from his work, you realize that one of those things Thoreau wanted to leave behind, and forget about, was time itself, and that in this simplicity of life he chose, the passing of time was of no consequence to him. This is why the answer is D.
