the Thoreau Log.
2 April 1858. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  P.M.—To yew and R.W.E.’s [Ralph Waldo Emerson] Cliff . . .

  It is not important that the poet should say some particular thing, but should speak in harmony with nature. The tone and pitch of his voice is the main thing . . .

(Journal, 10:342-345)
