the Thoreau Log.
12 January 1855. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—To Flint’s Pond via Minott’s meadow . . .

  Perhaps what most moves us in winter is some reminiscence of far-off summer. How we leap by the side of the open brooks! What beauty in the running brooks! What life! What society! The cold is merely superficial; it is summer still at the core . . .

(Journal, 7:113-115)
