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

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Another still, warm, beautiful day like yesterday.

  I made a burning-glass of ice, which produced a light sensation of warmth on the back of my hand, but was so untrue that it did not concentrate the rays to a sufficiently small focus. Returning over Great Fields, found half a dozen arrowheads, one with three scallops in the base.

(Journal, 7:224-227)
