the Thoreau Log.
11 July 1854. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—By boat to Fair Haven . . .

  Sun set when I was off Nut Meadow. A straight edge of massy cloud had advanced from the south-southeast and now stretched overhead from west-southwest to east-northeast, and after sunset reflected a soft fawn-colored (?) light on the landscape, lighting up with harmonious light the dry parched and shorn hillsides . . .

(Journal, 6:390-391)
