the Thoreau Log.
23 April 1858. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  I receive to-day Sanguinaria Canadensis from Brattleboro, well in bloom,—how long?—in a large box full of mayflowers.

  The toads ring now by day, but not very loud nor generally.

  I see the large head apparently of a bullfrog, by the riverside. Many middle-sized frogs, apparently bullfrogs, green above and more or less dark-spotted, with either yellow or white throats, sitting along the water’s edge now . . .

(Journal, 10:381-382)
