Answer:
Patron saint of frugality, celebrator, preacher.
Explanation:
The author gives Thoreau the titles: patron saint of frugality, celebrator and preacher, stating that he was very fond of these versions of Thoreau. However, as he continues to read, we can see that the author shows that over time he started to prefer the stricter Thoreau, because this version showed not only how Thoreau liked nature, but also showed how he assumed his responsibility for it. The author states that the stricter Thoreau had the ability to limit his imput and redefine his output in the name of that responsibility.
