the Thoreau Log.
11 July 1852. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  4.30 A.M.—To the river.

  The shore is strewn with quite a long grove of young red maples two inches high, with the samaræ attached. So they are dispersed. The heart-leaf flower is abundant more than ever, but shut up at this hour. The first lily I noticed opened about half an hour after sunrise, or at 5 o’clock . . .

(Journal, 4:216-219)
