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

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Awake to day of gentle rain,—very much needed; none to speak of for nearly a month, methinks. The cooler and stiller day has a valuable effect on my spirits.

  P.M.—Over the Hill to Brown’s watering-place.

  It holds up from time [to time], and then a fine, misty rain falls. It lies on the fine reddish tops of some grasses, thick and whitish like morning cobwebs . . .
