”As for a Shelter, I will not deny that this is now a necessary of life, though there are instances of men having done without it for long periods in colder weather.” p.20
(E) I think shelter, at least for humans, has always been necessary and essential to our survival. So the type of shelter Thoreau must be talking about is the excessive, luxurious one that includes way more than what is necessary in order for us to survive. According to him, all we need from a shelter is warmth and protection from the outside world's conditions while we rest so anything more than that is unnecessary.
