I believe that the correct answer is a desire to retreat from society when necessary.
Thoreau greatly valued nature as the ultimate source of peace and happiness. He believed that humans cannot truly be happy in cities, surrounded by concrete and malice, but should rather escape to nature and lead fulfilled lives instead.
