the Thoreau Log.
1 November 1852. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  A warm, mizzling kind of rain for two days past and still. Stellaria media in Cheney’s garden, as last spring . . .

  It is remarkable how native man proves himself to the earth, after all, and the completeness of his life in all its appurtenances. His alliances, how wide! He has domesticated not only beasts and fowl . . .

(Journal, 4:405-406)
