the Thoreau Log.
16 February 1860. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  2 P.M.—To Walden . . .

  When we descend on to Goose Pond we find that the snow rests more thickly on the numerous zigzag and horizontal branches of the high blueberries that bend over it than on any deciduous shrub or tree, producing a very handsome snowy maze, and can thus distinguish this shrub, by the manner in which the snow lies on it, quite across the pond . . .

(Journal, 13:147-148)
