the Thoreau Log.
13 February 1857. Worcester, Mass.

On 14 February, Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Higginson told me yesterday of a large tract near Fayal and near Pico (Mountain), covered with the reindeer (?) (as I suggested and he assented) lichens, very remarkable and desolate, extending for miles, the effect of an earthquake, which will in course of time be again clothed with a larger vegetation . . .
(Journal, 9:254-255)

Thoreau delivers “Walking, or The Wild” at Brinley Hall, Worcester.
