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

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Here is a rainy day, which keeps me in the house.

  Asked Therien this afternoon if he had got a new idea this summer. “Good Lord!” says he, “a man that has to work as I do, if he does not forget the ideas he has had, he will do well. Maybe the man you work with is inclined to race; then, by gorry, your mind must be there; you think of weeds” . . .

(Journal, 3:116-118)
