the Thoreau Log.
2 May 1841. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes his poem “Wachusett” in his journal:

Especial I remember thee,
Wachusett, who like me
Standest alone without society.
Thy far blue eye,
A remnant of the sky,
Seen through the clearing or the gorge,
Or from the windows of the forge,
Doth leaven all it passes by.
. . .
(Journal, 1:256-257)
