Thoreau

"Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and i may say innocence, with Nature herself. I have been as sincere a worshipper of Aurora as the Greeks." Here Thoreau expresses his love for dawn and the morning. He loves the serenity of his cabin by the pond. Aurora being the greek/roman goddess of the dawn replenishes herself every morning. Thoureau later goes on to state that he mimics her by bathing in the pond each morning.
