the Thoreau Log.
13 March 1855. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Northern lights last night. Rainbow in east this morning.

  6.30 A.M.—To Hill.

  Still, but with some wrack here and there. The river is low, very low for the season. It has been falling ever since the freshet of February 18th. Now, about sunrise, it is nearly filled with the thin, half-cemented ice-crystals of the night . . .

(Journal, 7:244-246)
