the Thoreau Log.
11 November 1851. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  2 P. M.—A bright, but cold day, finger-cold. One must next wear gloves, put his hands in winter quarters. There is a cold, silvery light on the white pines as I go through J. P. Brown’s field near Jenny Dugan’s. I am glad of the shelter of the thick pine wood on the Marlborough road, on the plain . . .

  White Pond is prepared for winter. Now that most other trees have lost their leaves, the evergreens are more conspicuous about its shores and on its capes . . .

(Journal, 3:104-107)
