the Thoreau Log.
23 February 1855. Concord, Mass.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  Saw at Walden this afternoon that that greyish ice which had formed over the large square where ice had been taken out for Brown’s ice-house had a decided pink or rosaceous tinge.

  Mr. Loring says that he and his son George fired at white swans in Texas on the water, and, though G. shot two with ball and killed them, the others each case gathered about them and crowded them off out of their reach.

(Journal, 7:209)
