the Thoreau Log.
20 December 1859. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  A.M.—To T. Wheeler wood-lot.

  Snows very fast, large flakes, a very lodging snow, quite moist; turns to rain in afternoon. If we leave the sleigh for a moment, it whitens the seat, which must be turned over. We are soon thickly covered, and it lodges on the twigs of the trees and bushes,—there being but little wind,—giving them a very white and soft, spiritual look. Gives them a still, soft, and light look . . .

(Journal, 13:36)
