the Thoreau Log.
22 May 1852. Plymouth, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Saturday. On my way to Plymouth, looked at Audubon in the State-House . Saw painted the red berries of the Arum triphyllum. The pigeon is more red on the breast and more blue than the turtle dove . . .

  5 P.M.—Plymouth.

  The hill whence Billington discovered the pond. The field plantain in blossom and abundant here. A chickweed in bloom in Watson’s garden. Is it the same that was so early? . . .

(Journal, 4:68)
