the Thoreau Log.
10 August 1856. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  The weather is fair and clear at last. The dog-days lasted since July, 30th.

  P. M.—To Fair Haven Hill and Walden . . .

  I go across lots like a hunting dog. With what tireless energy and abandonment they dash through the brush and up the sides of hills! I meet two white foxhounds, led by an old red one. How full of i t they are! How their tails work! They are not tied to paths; they burst forth . . .

(Journal, 8:459-60)
