the Thoreau Log.
22 October 1852. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  To Walden.

  Ebby Hubbard’s oaks, now turned a sober and warm red and yellow, have a very rich crisp and curled look, especially against the green pines. This is when the ripe, high-colored leaves have begun to curl and wither. The they have a warm and harmonious tint . . .

(Journal, 4:394-396)
