the Thoreau Log.
1 September 1857. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—To Fair Haven Pond by boat.

  Landing at Bittern Cliff, I see that fine purple grass; how long? At Baker’s shore, I at length distinguished fairly the Sagittaria simplex, which I have known so long, the small one with simple leaves. But this year there are very few of them, being nearly drowned out by the high water . . .

(Journal, 10:21-22)
